Perfection in detail

In the ball valve series from

GF Piping Systems, attention has

been given to every last detail of

the individual components. Func-

tionality and design have been

perfectedsothatwecan–as

always–offerourcustomersa

reliable and intelligent solution.

Easy installation

The ball valve type 543 features

integrated threaded inserts.

It can be installed directly and

rapidly. There is no need to attach

complicated fixtures to the valve.

The mounting plate from the ball

valve type 546 can be used for

installation.

Modular solution

With the assembly kit, you can

transform the manual three-way

ball valve into an actuated valve

with a variety of functions. The

module can be used as a standard

mechanical interface thanks to

the all-plastic housing, the sturdy

design and secure fastening on

the ball valve. It also enables

direct connection of electric and

pneumatic actuators.

Lockable handle

Comfort and safety are the out-

standing features of the multi-

functional handle:

• indexing in 45° increments

• exact, safe positioning of the

ball

• lockable and therefore pro-

tected against unauthorized

access

• made of robust PPGF

(polypropylene fiberglass-

reinforced)

Fast mountingThe preassembled threaded inserts made of stainless steel permit direct installation

Optimal connectionThe assembly kit as interface for actuators

Perfect placement

The 90° stop can be placed in four positions as a

clip-on ring

Hidden talentsThe handle contains the tool for adjusting the union handle

Reliable connectionThe plastics-oriented buttress thread withstands maximum forces

Perfect for Plastics

In developing the buttress thread

for the ball valve type 543, a pla-

stics-oriented connection technol-

ogy was realized and implemen-

ted. Compared to the trapezoid

thread, the buttress thread offers

the following advantages:

• ca. 50% better coverage of the

thread flanks

• no radial force components due

to contact of the vertical flanks

in the loading direction

• max. protection against the

union nut loosening and

jumping off in case of water

hammer

Defined handle operation

The new 90° stop enables using

the lever in defined positions

of 90°. The specially designed

housing of the ball valve enables

placing it in diverse positions

by means of a clip-on ring. The

handle stop is made of robust

PPGF and can be used for all ma-

terials. It is covered by the handle

and therefore not visible from the

outside.

Multitalented

The fiberglass-reinforced po-

lypropylene (PPGF) handle is

morethanjustahandle–italso

contains the tool for adjusting

the union bushes. Another new

feature is the marking imprinted

on the handle for the various ball

positions. This marking cannot be

removed.
