TruDesign Certified Ball Valves are designed and made in New Zealand for use in marine applications above and below the waterline. They are ideal for controlling inlet and outlet water requirements. Position Monitoring allows remote monitoring of Ball Valve Position. The Position Monitoring circuit can also be used as part of an engine or generator start interlock to ensure these don’t start without cooling water available. The body of the Ball Valve is manufactured in glass-reinforced nylon composite with high impact and tensile strength resulting in a light weight unit, free from corrosion and electrolysis issues. The ball and sealing rings utilise a PTFE polymer to ensure a smooth action, and continuous ease of operation over many years. The Ball Valve is available in both BSP and NPS Parallel thread forms and can be locked in the closed position for use on toilet waste outlets.
