Ball Valve threaded ends - 2 pcs full bore ball valve M-F - 2013 | Genebre

Genebre 2013 M-F full-bore ball valve

The Genebre 2013 is a two-piece stainless steel ball valve with full-bore flow passage and male-female Gas threads to ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1. The body material is CF8M / 316 stainless steel. Standard sealing uses PTFE + 15% glass fibre seats and a Viton stem O-ring. Rated pressure is PN63, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to +180°C, subject to pressure, medium and seal compatibility.

Sizes and operation

Available from 1/4" to 1". Operation is manual by lever, with locking provision. The full-bore design reduces pressure loss compared with reduced-bore valves, which is relevant on small process lines, instrument connections and auxiliary services.

Typical applications

• instrument air and impulse lines
• bypass, drain and vent points
• water, compressed air and compatible oils
• inert gases and non-aggressive utilities
• auxiliary connections on skids, packages and manifolds

Suitable media and limits

Selection shall be checked against the wetted materials: CF8M stainless steel, PTFE/GF seats and Viton elastomer. Confirm compatibility for chemicals, hydrocarbons, glycol mixtures, treated water and process fluids. Temperature and pressure must be evaluated together; PN63 does not imply full pressure capability at the upper temperature limit.

Connection and variant selection

The M-F threaded configuration allows direct installation between threaded components without an additional nipple. Compared with F-F valves, it can reduce joint count and potential leakage points. Compared with M-M valves, one side remains a female receiving connection, useful for compact assemblies and instrument take-offs.

Standards and documentation

• Thread standard: ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1
• Pressure class: PN63
• Body material: CF8M / AISI 316 equivalent stainless steel casting
• Project certification, material traceability and test certificates should be verified against the supplied valve documentation.

Actuation and sealing notes

The standard configuration is manual lever operation. If remote operation is required, select a valve version with a suitable actuator interface or specify an actuated assembly. Standard sealing is PTFE/GF with Viton; alternative seat or elastomer materials require confirmation from the manufacturer or selection of a different valve variant.

FAQ

Is it suitable for steam? Only after checking pressure, temperature and seal compatibility; PTFE and Viton limits must be respected.

Is it a control valve? No. It is an on/off isolation valve, not intended for throttling service.

Where is it commonly used? Compact utility, drain, vent, bypass and instrumentation connections where stainless construction and low pressure drop are required.
