Philmac 50mm Poly Ball Valve

System Design Considerations

Threads: All threads are BSP (Whitworth form).

Maximum Operating Pressure: 1600 kPa (232psi) or 16 bar.

Sealing threads: Philmac recommends sealing threads with PTFE tape. Other approved sealants for plastic materials can be used providing the sealant does not enter the valve where it may cause damage.

Operating temperature: The ball valve is 1600kPa rated at 20 deg C.

Weathering: All plastic materials used contain pigments to provide excellent protection against degradation from ultra-violet (UV) radiation.

High Flow

In independent testing (conducted by The University of South Australia), we replicated a typical trough filling scenario. Using a 2" ball valve and 2" rural pipe and working within the manufacturers maximum recommended water velocity; we found the Philmac Ball Valve did not restrict flow to the trough.
