What should you pay attention to when installing a clip-on thin ball valve?

A metal-sealed valve for a clip-on thin ball valve generally has a longer life than a resiliently sealed valve, but it is difficult to achieve a complete seal. Metal seals can accommodate higher operating temperatures, while elastomeric seals have temperature-limited defects.

  If a ball valve is required for flow control, the main choice is the correct size and type of valve. The structural principle of the ball valve is especially suitable for making large diameter valves. Ball valves are widely used not only in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also in cooling water systems for thermal power stations.

  Commonly used ball valves are clip-on ball valves and flange ball valves. The clip-on ball valve uses a stud bolt to connect the valve between the two pipe flanges. The flange ball valve has a flange on the valve and bolts the flanges on both ends of the valve to the pipe flange.

Precautions for the installation of the clip-on thin ball valve:
 
  1. Install in a vertically placed pipe. Vertically placed wafer type thin ball valve for horizontally placed pipes
 
  2. Avoid adding pipe joints and obstructions within the operating radius of the valve plate.
 
  3. Use a telescopic tube between the wafer type thin ball valve and the butterfly valve. Never connect it directly to other valves.
 
  4. When installing a clip-on thin ball valve near the elbow, be careful to leave enough space.
   
  5. Do not install a reducer in front of or behind the wafer type thin ball valve.
   
  6. When placing the pipe, care should be taken to make the direction of the flow of the wafer type thin ball valve consistent with the fluid flow direction.
 
  7. When installing the clip-type thin ball valve at the pump outlet, at least six times the diameter of the valve will flow out to ensure that the disc is finally subjected to fluid action.
