Inox-val 2 Piece Ball Valves - 700076 | Valpres

Valpres Inox-Val 700076 Stainless Steel Ball Valve

The Valpres Inox-Val 700076 is a 2-piece stainless steel ball valve for flow isolation in small-bore threaded pipework. The body and end connection are ASTM A351 CF8M, suitable for process services where corrosion resistance and compact shut-off are required.

Technical Characteristics

• Sizes: 1/2” to 2”
• Pressure ratings: PN25 / PN64, depending on valve size and configuration
• End connection: NPT threaded
• Body and end: ASTM A351 CF8M
• Ball: ASTM A479 TP316 or ASTM A351 CF8M
• Stem: ASTM A479 TP316
• Ball seats: PTFE
• Body seat and stem seat: PTFE
• Antifriction ring: PTFE
• O-rings: FKM / Viton

Standards, Materials and Documentation

The valve is listed with DIN standard reference, CF8M stainless steel construction and PN25 or PN64 pressure classes. The material arrangement identifies the pressure-retaining parts, ball, stem and sealing components. For procurement, verify the required certificate package, pressure rating by diameter, and compatibility with site specifications.

Suitable Media and Operating Context

• Water and utility water circuits
• Compressed air and inert gas lines
• Auxiliary process networks
• Chemical fluids compatible with CF8M, PTFE and FKM
• General industrial isolation duties in threaded stainless steel pipework

Temperature and pressure limits shall be checked against the manufacturer pressure-temperature chart, especially where PTFE seats or FKM elastomers are exposed to elevated temperature or chemically aggressive media.

Variant Selection

• PN25 version: for lower pressure utility and process isolation duties.
• PN64 version: for higher pressure services within the published size and temperature limits.
• TP316 ball: common selection for corrosion-resistant stainless steel service.
• CF8M ball: cast stainless alternative where specified by valve configuration.

Actuation and Operation

The valve is intended for quarter-turn isolation service. Manual lever operation is typical. If automated operation is required, confirm mounting arrangement, stem torque, actuator sizing, cycle frequency and fail-safe position before selection.

Maintenance and Leakage Considerations

PTFE seats provide soft-seated shut-off but are not intended for abrasive solids or continuous throttling. For reliable sealing, avoid using the valve as a control valve. Check stem sealing condition, thread engagement, seal material compatibility and installation torque during maintenance.

FAQ

• Is the 700076 suitable for steam? Use only after checking the pressure-temperature limits of PTFE and FKM for the specified steam condition.
• Can it be used for chemicals? Yes, where the fluid is compatible with CF8M stainless steel, PTFE and FKM.
• Is it a control valve? No. It is primarily an on/off isolation valve.
• What should be checked before ordering? Size, PN rating, NPT thread requirement, temperature, fluid compatibility and certification needs.
