KVplus Ball Valves

AWP ball valves are designed for installation in industrial heating and refrigeration systems. The closing device is a bored through ball that opens and closes the pipe by horizontal rotation in relation to the flow direction. The 90° rotation is exerted via the shaft and is either by a hand-operated lever, gear box or by electric or pneumatic actuators. KVplus is a ball valve series that is especially designed for a pressure rating up to PN 100. The port size in the ball is smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe.
