Ball Valve threaded ends - 3 pcs full bore ball valve NPT thread - 2034N | Genebre

Genebre 2034N 3-piece NPT ball valve

The Genebre 2034N is a 3-piece, full-bore ball valve with NPT threaded ends. The body material is carbon steel WCB, with AISI 316 ball and stem, PTFE + 15% glass-filled seats, 1000 WOG pressure rating, and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +180°C.

Typical applications

• compressed air and inert gas lines
• industrial water services
• oils and compatible hydrocarbons
• skid-mounted process packages
• drain, vent, bypass and utility lines
• installations requiring NPT threaded connections

Suitable media

• clean liquids compatible with WCB, AISI 316 and PTFE/GF
• non-corrosive gases within pressure and temperature limits
• lubricating oils, fuel oils and selected hydrocarbon services

Operational considerations

The full-bore design reduces pressure loss and is suitable where line restriction must be minimized. The 3-piece construction allows access to the center body for seat and seal maintenance, provided that clearance for disassembly has been considered in the piping layout.

Standards and connection checks

• NPT threaded connection: verify compatibility with the mating pipe thread, typically ASME B1.20.1
• Pressure rating: 1000 WOG, subject to temperature, medium and manufacturer pressure-temperature limits
• Material check: WCB body, AISI 316 trim, PTFE + 15% glass-filled seats

Actuation and operation

The valve is normally used as a manual on/off valve. For automated service, confirm the availability of a mounting arrangement, stem torque, duty cycle and actuator sizing with the manufacturer’s data sheet. Pneumatic or electric actuation should be selected against differential pressure, media condition and required fail position.

Sealing and leakage considerations

PTFE + glass-filled seats provide soft-seat shutoff for compatible clean services. Abrasive particles, crystallizing fluids or high cycling rates can affect seat life. For critical isolation, confirm allowable leakage class and maintenance interval before selection.

Variant selection

• 2034N: NPT threaded ends for North American-style threaded piping
• Use other end-connection variants when the line specification requires BSP, socket weld, butt weld or flanged connections
• Select stainless steel body variants when WCB is not compatible with the process fluid or environment

FAQ

Is it suitable for steam? Only if the manufacturer’s pressure-temperature chart and seat material limits allow the specific steam condition.

Can it be serviced in line? The center section can be accessed in a 3-piece design, but piping clearance and safe isolation must be provided.

What must be verified before procurement? NPT thread form, pressure, temperature, fluid compatibility, leakage requirement, actuation need and maintenance access.
