Super C Compact Ball Valve, Diaphragm Valve, MIP Molded in Place Valve
SUPER C COMPACT BALL VALVE When compared with other brands of compacts, the Colonial Super C Compact Ball Valve is in a class by itself. It utilizes the same ball and stem as our True Union valve. This means it has the same robust stem diameter and two stem o-rings as the True Union. It is the only compact valve with a separate and independent floating carrier. This provides the valve with the longest turning life and lowest torque on the market. As the seat and ball wear, the floating carrier automatically moves forward to provide a positive seal, a live-load design. Ideally suited for the most demanding industrial, commercial, agricultural and turf irrigation environments, the Super C Compact Ball Valve is permanently sealed at the factory and is not reparable. COMPACT BALL VALVE Factory sealed, maintenance-free, quarter-turn compact ball valves for 2 1/2, 3, and 4" piping systems. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Two-piece PVC construction Low-torque, smooth turning 100% thermoplastic design eliminates process and atmospheric corrosion Full Port Sch 80 design Socket connections EPDM o-rings and Teflon® seats Dual stem o-rings Low-cost operation 100% bubble tight shut-off Pressure rating: 150 psi, non-shock water at 73o F MIP (MOLDED IN PLACE) VALVE Colonial MIP (Molded in Place) valves are the perfect blend of performance and low cost. A great choice for swimming pools, commercial and turf irrigation systems or just about anywhere low cost, high performance and non-reparable valves are needed. DIAPHRAGM VALVES Corrosion resistant, PVC diaphragm valves are ideal for repeat throttling and on/off service in applications ranging from water treatment to chemical transfer. With its non clogging, weir-type design, thicker fluids such as suspended solids and slurries are allowed to flow rather than become “trapped.” This is accomplished when the diaphragm, connected to the stem of the valve by a compressor, is pulled away from the bottom of the weir or valve body. When this happens, the path of the fluid follows a smooth, streamlined flow. DESIGN FEATURES AND MATERIALSThe low profile, top entry design means less space is required for installation and operation, and that in-line maintenance can be easily performed. The Colonial Diaphragm valves features a flat zone design at the bottom of the flange that makes it easy to set. Available in PVC or CPVC, Sch 80 construction is heavy duty for demanding applications and optimal corrosion resistance, and smooth-walled to facilitate maximum fluid flow. Diaphragm / o-ring material choices include abrasion resistant EPDM, EPDM backed Teflon® and Viton ®
