Valpres 710000 / 711000 / 712000 Three-Piece Ball Valve
Three-piece stainless steel ball valve in ASTM A351 CF8M, used on threaded or welded DIN piping where isolation, maintainability and material compatibility are required.

Variant selection
- 710000: threaded ISO 7 Rp ends for removable utility and process pipework.
- 711000: socket weld ends for compact welded installations with reduced external leakage points.
- 712000: butt weld ends for permanent welded lines and higher integrity piping layouts.
Three-piece construction
The centre body can be removed for inspection, seat replacement or seal maintenance without cutting or dismantling the pipe ends. This design is useful where welded end connections are specified but internal soft parts must remain serviceable.
Suitable media and operating context
Applicable to water, compressed air, neutral gases, plant utilities and chemical liquids compatible with CF8M stainless steel, PTFE seats and FKM elastomers. For steam, solvents, oxidising chemicals or cyclic temperature service, seat load, elastomer compatibility and allowable pressure at temperature must be checked.
Standards, options and certifications
- Threaded ends according to ISO 7 Rp.
- DIN-compatible welded end executions.
- SIL 3, TÜV and ATEX executions available on request, subject to configuration.
- Manual lever operation as standard; pneumatic or electric actuation can be evaluated according to valve torque, duty cycle, fail position and mounting arrangement.
Industrial use cases
- Isolation of utility headers, skids and packaged equipment.
- Maintenance block valves on chemical dosing and auxiliary systems.
- Compressed air and inert gas distribution.
- Water and non-aggressive process liquid isolation.
Selection checks
Select the 710000 / 711000 / 712000 series when a stainless steel three-piece valve is required with threaded, socket weld or butt weld ends. Confirm PN rating by size, design temperature, FKM compatibility, seat leakage requirements, actuation torque and any ATEX or SIL 3 requirement.
FAQ
Can the seats be replaced in-line?
The centre section can be removed while the pipe ends remain installed, provided the line is depressurised, drained and isolated.
Which end connection should be used?
Use threaded ends for removable pipework, socket weld for compact welded systems, and butt weld for permanent welded process lines.
