Chrome-Plated Brass Ball Valve Female Female

Chrome-Plated Brass Ball Valve Female Female (Reference: 10105A)

This Codital ball valve embodies professional-grade valve craftsmanship. Made from heavy-pattern forged brass with a full chrome coating, it meets the strictest requirements of plumbing and industrial professionals. Its certification compliant with European standard EN 13828 guarantees irreproachable quality and reliability for all your hydraulic installations.

Applications and Operational Advantages

This ball valve excels in numerous application areas thanks to its nominal pressure PN32 and full bore design. It is perfectly suited for central heating installations, drinking water networks, industrial circuits and professional irrigation systems. Installers particularly appreciate its ability to withstand high pressures while maintaining optimal flow rates.

Its female-female design allows flexible integration into all types of networks, whether for connections on IBC tanks, pumping systems or sanitary installations. Building and industrial professionals find it a reliable solution for section isolation, preventive maintenance and precise flow control.

Technical Specifications and Innovation

The heavy-pattern forged brass construction gives this valve exceptional robustness against mechanical stress. The 100% chrome coating is not limited to the body: it also covers the ball and stem, providing uniform and lasting corrosion protection. This comprehensive surface treatment approach guarantees remarkable longevity, even in aggressive environments.

Sealing is ensured by a double EPDM O-ring, a material recognised for its resistance to thermal variations and chemical agents. The ISO 228-1 thread ensures universal compatibility with the majority of standard fittings on the market. The non-ejectable stem eliminates any risk of accidental ejection under pressure, enhancing operational safety.

Installation and Practical Use

Installation of this valve is straightforward thanks to its threaded female connections. Simply apply an appropriate sealant (PTFE tape or hemp) before hand-tightening, then moderately tighten with a wrench to avoid damaging the thread. The reversible handle allows the direction of operation to be adapted to the access constraints of the installation.

Daily use benefits from the clear indication of operating direction on the handle, preventing any handling errors. The 90° rotation between open and closed positions offers precise and rapid flow control. For maintenance, regular cleaning with soapy water is sufficient to preserve the chrome finish and ensure proper functioning of the mechanism.

Expert Advice and Product Synergies

To optimise the performance of this valve, pair it with our Camlock or Express fittings to create quick-drain systems on IBC tanks. In industrial environments, combine it with our butterfly valves for variable flow rate installations. Irrigation professionals will advantageously integrate it into their networks with our Gardena programmers for automated control.

Expert tip: for outdoor installations, plan for winter draining as the minimum operating temperature is -10°C. For food-grade applications, verify fluid compatibility with EPDM seals. Avoid excessive tightening torques that could damage the brass thread. In areas with heavy limescale, an annual descaling of the mechanism considerably extends service life.
