ECA PN25 Ball Valve, Female × Male
ECA Industrial Ball Valve - Internal × External Thread (PN 25)
ECA industrial PN 25 ball valves are professional solutions with an internal (female) thread on one end and an external (male) thread on the other, allowing flexible, direct connections on pipelines. The heavy-duty body is designed for reliable flow control in medium- and high-pressure industrial systems.
Technical Specifications
-
Pressure Rating: Manufactured and tested for 25 bar (PN 25) operating pressure.
-
Connection Type: Internal (female) thread on one end and external (male) thread on the other, allowing direct connection to appliances or lines without an extra nipple.
-
Body Material: Made of corrosion-resistant brass alloy, reinforced against the mechanical stresses and high pressure loads of industrial applications.
-
Sealing: High-performance PTFE (Teflon) seals around the ball provide a complete seal under varying temperatures and pressures.
-
Operating Element: Fitted with an ergonomic steel handle with a corrosion-resistant coating, suited to industrial conditions.
Benefits
-
Flexible Integration: The externally threaded end can be fitted directly to manifolds, pump inlets or appliance connections, reducing installation time and the number of parts.
-
High Flow Capacity: The full-bore internal design creates no flow resistance and minimizes pressure loss in the system.
-
Mechanical Strength: Thickened body walls give extra protection, compared with standard valves, against the water hammer and thermal expansion that can occur in industrial installations.
-
Operational Safety: ECA’s advanced casting and machining technology ensures years of trouble-free, leak-tight operation in demanding conditions.
Installation Instructions
During installation, use suitable sealing aids (hemp, sealing paste or PTFE tape) on both the internal and external threads. To avoid damaging the valve body and threads, apply force only on the wrench flats when tightening, and do not put pressure on the handle or the stem.
