Manual Ball Valve

These all have BSP threads to match all our plumbing fittings, skin fittings and tail pipes. Tru Design Ball Valves are designed and made in New Zealand for use in marine applications above and below the water line. They are IMCI & Bureau Veritas approved to ISO standard 9093-2 and are ideal for controlling inlet and outlet water requirements. They also pass survey for NZ survey vessels. 

The bodies of these valves are moulded in a glass reinforced nylon composite material providing high impact and tensile strength, resulting in a light weight unit, free from corrosion and electrolysis. The internal workings are moulded in a Teflon enhanced polymer for a smooth action, also ensuring continuous ease of operation over many years.

Please note that the handle can be easily removed from all size ball valves if required during instillation by removing the cap which is the same colour as the handle and is next to the Tru-Design logo. Use a sharp product to flick it out then unscrew the stainless screw with a phillips screwdriver. Make sure the handle is replaced after installation.
