Description
Series PBV Automated Ball Valve – Two-Way Plastic
Electric and Pneumatic Actuators
The Series PBV Plastic Automated Ball Valves are ideal for services in industrial, chemical, turf and irrigation, and pool and spa applications, as well as for use with potable water. The valve features shear-proof stem designed to prevent leakage in the event of damage, reinforced TFE seats and EPDM seals for longer life, and an all-plastic construction (PVC or CPVC) for heavyweight durability at a lightweight cost. Valves also come standard with field selectable NPT or socket process connections.
The PBV is an economical automated valve package with either an electric or pneumatic actuator. Electrically actuated models are weatherproof, NEMA 4, powered by standard 115 VAC supply, and are available in either two-position or proportional control. Two-position actuators use the 115 VAC input to drive each of the valve ports open or closed, while the modulating actuator accepts a 4 to 20 mA input for infinite valve positioning. Actuator features include thermal overload protection to withstand stall conditions, visual position indication and a permanently lubricated gear train.
The pneumatic double acting actuator uses an air supply to drive each of the actuator ports. Spring return pneumatic actuators use the air supply to drive the valve stem one direction, and internally loaded springs return the valve to its original position. Also available is the SV3 solenoid valve to electrically switch the supply pressure between the air supply ports. Actuators are constructed of anodized aluminum and are epoxy coated for years of corrosion free service.
