Ball Valve threaded ends - High Pressure full bore ball valve - 2007 | Genebre

Genebre 2007 high-pressure ball valve

The Genebre 2007 is a one-piece, full-bore, manually operated ball valve for isolation service in high-pressure lines. The body material is carbon steel ASTM A105, with stainless steel 304 ball and stem, PEEK seats, BSP threaded ends, Class 1500 / 255 bar pressure rating, and an operating temperature range of -30°C to +250°C, subject to the pressure-temperature curve.

Sizes and flow configuration

The valve is available from 1/4" to 1". The full-bore design gives a lower pressure drop than reduced-bore ball valves and is normally selected where line losses, flushing capability, or instrument response time are relevant.

Typical applications

• hydraulic power units and hydraulic distribution lines
• lubricating oil and fuel oil auxiliary circuits
• high-pressure compressed air service
• test benches and pressure test manifolds
• machine auxiliary systems
• instrument isolation on high-pressure process connections

Suitable media

• hydraulic oil, mineral oil, and compatible lubricants
• compressed air and inert gases
• water-glycol fluids, subject to material compatibility
• selected industrial liquids where ASTM A105, SS304, and PEEK are compatible

Selection notes

Valve selection should be checked against pressure, temperature, cyclic duty, fluid compatibility, thread standard, and leakage requirements. PEEK seats are suitable for higher temperature and pressure duty than PTFE seats in many services, but chemical compatibility must be confirmed for each medium.

Standards and documentation

• Body: ASTM A105 carbon steel
• Ball and stem: stainless steel 304
• Seats: PEEK
• Connections: BSP threaded ends
• Pressure class: Class 1500 / 255 bar
• Applicable PED/CE documentation should be verified by size, category, and project requirement.

Actuation and operation

The standard configuration is manual lever operation. If remote operation, interlocking, or automated shutdown is required, select a compatible actuated valve arrangement and verify mounting interface, stem torque, actuator safety factor, and fail position.

Full bore versus reduced bore

A full-bore valve is preferred where pressure drop must be limited or where the line may require pigging, flushing, or fast pressure equalisation. A reduced-bore valve may be acceptable for simple isolation where compact size and cost are more important than flow resistance.

FAQ

Can it be used on steam? Steam service requires confirmation of the pressure-temperature rating and seat compatibility. Do not select only from the nominal pressure class.

Is it suitable for chemicals? Only if the chemical is compatible with ASTM A105, SS304, and PEEK at the operating concentration and temperature.

Is it a control valve? No. It is an isolation valve. Throttling service can increase seat wear and leakage risk.
