500°F (260 C)
Consult factory before brazing
Max. Operating Pressure Rating:
Water: 300 psig (2000 kPa), PN20.
Steam: 15 psig (No superheat allowed; 2-way bodies only)
Accessories:
272708A 1/2 in. inverted flare to 1/2 in. sweat adapter
272708B 1/2 in. inverted flare to 3/4 in. sweat adapter
Close-off Pressure Ratings: See Table 3
a
Do not exceed Maximum Differential Pressure to ensure motor and spring open and close valve. Rating is pressure drop
across valve with valve closed, not head pressure of pump.
b
Do not exceed coil differential pressure to prevent water hammer and ensure motor and spring open and close valve.
Flow Characteristics:
Quick opening for on-off application. Flow is approxi-
mately 50% at 20% open.
Materials:
Valve body: forged brass.
Drive shaft stem: “Double D” 316 stainless steel.
Ball plug: EPDM rubber.
O-ring seals: EPDM rubber.
Service Medium:
Suitable for hot and chilled water with up to 50% glycol.
2-way valves suitable for low pressure steam, 15 psi,
249°F (120 C) maximum.
Approvals:
CSA C/US Certified, LR1322.
