Ball Valve threaded ends - 1 pc reduced bore ball valve F-F - 2006 | Genebre

Genebre 2006 F-F stainless steel ball valve

The Genebre 2006 is a one-piece reduced-bore ball valve with female threaded ends F-F Gas ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1. The body is polished AISI 316 stainless steel, with PTFE seats, pressure rating PN63, and operating temperature range -25°C to +180°C, subject to pressure-temperature derating and media compatibility.

Dimensions and operation

The valve is available from 1/4" to 1" and is manually operated by lever. The reduced port generates higher pressure drop than a full-bore ball valve and should be checked where flow capacity, Cv/Kv value, flushing velocity, or line pigging is relevant.

Typical applications

• instrument air and small process utility lines
• drain, vent, sampling, and isolation points
• small-diameter bypass lines
• water, compressed air, nitrogen, inert gases
• compatible industrial liquids within the limits of AISI 316 and PTFE

Suitable media and operating limits

Use is normally considered for clean liquids and gases where stainless steel body material and PTFE soft seats are chemically compatible. The valve is not intended for throttling control; intermediate opening may increase seat wear, noise, and leakage risk. For steam, vacuum, aggressive chemicals, abrasive fluids, or high cycling duty, the actual pressure-temperature envelope and seat suitability should be verified.

Standards and connection specification

• Threaded female ends: Gas ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1
• Body material: AISI 316 stainless steel
• Seats: PTFE
• Pressure class: PN63
• Temperature range: -25°C to +180°C

Selection notes

The one-piece construction reduces body joints but is not selected for routine disassembly or seat replacement. For maintainable assemblies, a two-piece or three-piece ball valve is usually preferred. For minimum pressure loss or cleaning flow, a full-bore variant should be evaluated instead of a reduced-bore valve.

Actuation and sealing options

The Genebre 2006 is typically supplied with manual lever operation. If pneumatic or electric actuation is required, confirm availability of an actuator-ready valve with mounting interface, torque data, and stem design suitable for automation. Standard sealing is PTFE; alternative soft-seat materials should only be specified where the manufacturer confirms compatibility with temperature, pressure, and media.

FAQ

• Is it suitable for flow control? No. It is an isolation valve; use in partially open position should be avoided.
• Can it be serviced internally? The one-piece body is not intended for regular disassembly maintenance.
• When should a full-bore valve be used? Where pressure drop, flushing, or unrestricted bore is important.
• What must be checked before procurement? Thread standard, size, PN rating, temperature, media compatibility with AISI 316 and PTFE, and leakage requirements.
