Chrome-plated brass ball valve male male with flat handle

Chrome-plated brass ball valve male male with flat handle (Reference: 222R)
This Codital valve represents the excellence of French engineering in industrial valves. Designed to the most demanding standards, it offers a reliable solution for precise fluid control in professional and domestic installations. Its certification in compliance with EN 13828 guarantees optimal performance and maximum operational safety.

Applications and benefits

This ball valve is perfectly suited to industrial plumbing installations, heating circuits, sanitary water networks and fluid distribution systems. Building professionals, plumbers, heating engineers and industrialists appreciate its exceptional robustness and ease of installation.

Thanks to its full bore PN32, it maintains optimal flow even under high pressure, avoiding pressure drops. The ergonomic flat handle allows easy operation, even in confined spaces. Its compact design facilitates integration into all types of installations, from the simplest to the most complex.

Technical specifications and innovation

The high-quality forged brass guarantees superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The forging process provides optimal material density, eliminating porosity and reinforcing the internal structure. The 100% chrome-plated coating extends to the body, ball and stem, ensuring comprehensive protection against oxidation.

The innovation lies in the double EPDM O-ring seal, a material resistant to extreme temperatures (-10°C to +120°C) and chemical agents. The ISO 228-1 thread ensures universal compatibility with standard fittings. The non-ejectable stem prevents any external infiltration, maintaining system integrity even in harsh environments.

Installation and use

Installation is carried out by direct screwing onto corresponding male pipes, without specialised tools. Preparing the contact surfaces and applying sealing paste or PTFE tape guarantees a perfect seal. Respect the recommended tightening torque to avoid thread deformation.

Operation is performed by rotating the flat handle a quarter turn (90°). Position parallel to the pipe axis: valve open. Perpendicular position: valve closed. This design allows immediate visual control of the open/closed status.

Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the chrome-plated coating with non-abrasive products. The reversible handle allows orientation to be adapted according to access constraints. Periodically check the seal and retighten if necessary.

Expert advice and synergies

To optimise performance, pair this valve with equivalent quality fittings available in our professional range. Guillemin, Camlock or brass compression fittings perfectly complement this valve range to create durable assemblies.

In industrial environments, plan isolation valves upstream and downstream to facilitate maintenance without draining the entire installation. For critical applications, install pressure gauges to monitor operating pressure.

Avoid sudden temperature variations which can affect the seal. During winter, protect outdoor installations from frost. Compatibility with food-grade fluids makes it an ideal choice for the food processing industry, provided appropriate cleaning procedures are followed.

For high-frequency applications, favour periodic lubrication of internal mechanisms with food-grade lubricants where necessary.
