AAP Class 800 Fire Safe Ball Valve, 1/2"
Available
This AAP 3-piece Class 800 fire safe ball valve has a carbon steel (ASTM A216 WCB) body and end cap, with a CF8M / 316 stainless steel ball and stem. It is supplied in 6 sizes from 1/2" (15mm) to 2" (50mm).
A ball valve turns a ball with a hole through it between sealing seats. When the lever or handle is in line with the pipe the hole lines up with the flow and the valve is open, and a quarter turn closes it. The handle sits in line with the port, so it shows the valve position. The seat, gasket and thrust washer are PTFE, the stem packing is graphite and the valve has an anti-static device. The 1/4" to 1/2" sizes are not direct mounting for an actuator.
