Ball Valve threaded ends - 2 pcs full bore ball valve - 2015 | Genebre

Genebre 2015 full bore ball valve

The Genebre 2015 is a two-piece full bore ball valve with female threaded ends to BSP ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1. The body is AISI 316 / 1.4408. Seats and body seals are PTFE + 15% glass fibre, with a Viton stem O-ring.

Nominal pressure rating is PN63. Operating temperature range is -25°C to +180°C, subject to pressure, medium, cycling frequency and seal compatibility.

Sizes and operation

• Available sizes: 1/4" to 2"
• Manual operation by lever
• Locking device for open or closed position control
• ISO 5211 mounting pad for direct actuator installation
• Suitable for on/off service; not normally selected for throttling duty

Suitable media and applications

• Industrial water and utility water
• Compressed air systems
• Inert gases
• Small process lines
• Drain, vent and bypass lines
• Lines requiring stainless steel 316 for corrosion resistance
• Skid packages, manifolds and maintenance isolation points

Valve selection notes

The full bore design gives a flow path close to the pipe bore and reduces pressure drop compared with reduced bore ball valves. This is relevant where line velocity, flushing, pigging limitations or pressure loss must be considered.

Selection should verify compatibility of AISI 316, PTFE/GF and Viton with the fluid, concentration, operating temperature and cleaning procedure. For cyclic duty, stem sealing, handle accessibility and leakage class expectations should also be reviewed.

Variants and automation

• Manual version: lever-operated isolation valve for local operation
• Automated version: pneumatic or electric actuator can be mounted via ISO 5211
• Full bore variant: lower pressure loss than reduced bore designs of the same nominal size
• Threaded-end variant: suited to small-bore piping where welding is not required

Standards and technical references

• Threaded ends: BSP ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1
• Actuator interface: ISO 5211
• Pressure class: PN63
• Body material: AISI 316 / 1.4408

FAQ

Can it be used for steam?
Use on steam requires confirmation of pressure, temperature and seal suitability. PTFE-based seats are temperature-limited and must be checked against the actual steam duty.

Is it suitable for modulating control?
No. It is primarily an isolation valve. For modulating service, a control valve or characterized ball valve should be evaluated.

Can it be automated?
Yes. The ISO 5211 pad allows direct mounting of compatible pneumatic or electric actuators.
