Tru-Design Manual Ball Valves

Tru-Design Manual Ball Valves are designed and Made in New Zealand for use in marine applications above and below the water Line. TruDesign Manual Ball Valves are IMCI & Bureau Veritas approved to ISO standard 9093-2 and are ideal for controlling inlet and outlet water requirements.

The valve bodies are moulded in a glass reinforced nylon composite material providing high impact and tensile strength, resulting in a light weight unit, free from corrosion and electrolysis. The internal workings are moulded in a Teflon enhanced Polymer for a smooth action, also ensuring continuous ease of operation over many years.

Ball and seal ring are made from PTFE which is a fluorocarbon Resin that is isostatically compression molded into various shapes and configurations. It is chemically resistant to all chemicals and solvents with the exception of some molten alkali metals, molten sodium hydroxide, elemental fluorine and certain fluorinating agents.

The ball valve spanner is available to tighten the valve to the >Skin Fitting and panel display allows remote monitoring of the Ball Valve position. The Position Monitoring circuit can also be used as part of an engine or generator start interlock to ensure these don't start without cooling water available.

• Manufactured from a glass reinforced nylon composite - High strength and light weight
• Immune to corrosion and Electrolysis - Long life with no concerns over decreased performance due to corrosion
• Chemical resistant - Impervious to diesel, petrol and antifouling paints
• UV resistant - Will not break down with ultraviolet light or discolour from the sun
• Large operating temperature Range (-20° to 80°C)
• High quality surface finish - Will not discolour with green film as similar bronze fittings do
• Standards approved through IMCI & Bureau Veritas to ISO standard 9093-2

Please note the handle can be easily removed from all size ball valves if required during instillation by removing the cap which is the same colour as the handle and is next to the Tru-Design logo. Use a sharp knife to flick it out then unscrew the stainless Screw with a Philips screwdriver. Make sure the handle is replaced after installation.
