PN10 Pressure Rated Marine Ball Valve With Drain Valve, Flanged End Connection
Product Spotlights
As a leading valve manufacturer based in Shanghai, Shanghai Zhibang Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. specializes in providing robust and reliable fluid control solutions for demanding industrial and marine applications. Established in 2016, we have built a strong reputation for quality and service, exporting our products to markets across the globe, including North America, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa. Our PN10 Pressure Rated Marine Ball Valve with Drain Valve and Flanged End Connection is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in critical marine environments, offering superior sealing, durability, and ease of maintenance to ensure the safety and efficiency of your piping systems.
This marine-grade ball valve is designed to meet the rigorous demands of shipboard and offshore applications. Its core value lies in providing a secure, leak-proof shut-off for seawater, ballast, fuel, and other fluid lines, while the integrated drain valve feature allows for safe system depressurization and fluid drainage, a crucial function for maintenance and inspection. We understand the challenges of the marine industry, and our valve is built to withstand corrosive saltwater environments, pressure fluctuations, and continuous operation.
Key Features and Technical Advantages:
- Robust Pressure Rating: Rated at PN10 (10 bar), this valve is suitable for a wide range of low to medium-pressure marine systems, ensuring reliable operation under standard service conditions.
- Integrated Drain Valve: The built-in drain valve (or vent valve) is a significant safety and maintenance feature. It allows operators to safely release pressure and drain residual fluid from the isolated section of the pipeline before disassembly, enhancing operational safety and simplifying maintenance procedures.
- Flanged End Connection: The flanged ends provide a strong, bolted connection to the pipeline, ensuring a secure and leak-free joint that is easy to install and suitable for repeated disassembly and reassembly.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Available in materials like carbon steel with protective coatings, stainless steel (304/316), or duplex steel, the valve body and components are selected for excellent resistance to seawater corrosion and pitting.
- Bubble-Tight Sealing: Equipped with advanced seat materials such as PTFE or reinforced PTFE, the valve offers bubble-tight sealing, minimizing internal and external leakage to protect the environment and system integrity.
- Low Torque Operation: The precision-machined ball and stem design ensures smooth, low-torque operation, whether using a standard lever handle or an optional gear operator for larger sizes, reducing operator effort.
- Full Port Design (Optional): Many models feature a full port (full bore) design, which minimizes pressure drop across the valve and allows for the passage of pipeline pigs or inspection tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What is the primary purpose of the drain valve on this ball valve?
A: The integrated drain valve allows for the safe release of pressure and drainage of residual fluid from the pipeline section isolated by the main ball valve. This is a critical safety feature for maintenance, inspection, or before removing the valve, preventing accidental spray or release. -
Q: Can this valve be used for services other than seawater?
A: Yes. While designed for marine environments, it is suitable for various fluids including fresh water, oils, fuels, air, and other mild chemicals, provided the fluid is compatible with the valve's wetted materials (body, seat, seals). -
Q: What flange standards do you comply with?
A: Our flanged ends are typically manufactured to common international standards such as DIN, ANSI/ASME, JIS, or BS. The specific standard (e.g., DIN EN 1092-1, ANSI B16.5) can be specified when ordering based on your pipeline requirements. -
Q: Is the valve suitable for underground installation or submerged service?
A: For standard models, surface installation is recommended. For submerged or buried service, specific modifications like extended stems, special coatings, or different seal materials may be required. Please consult our technical team for such applications. -
Q: Do you offer actuated versions of this valve?
A: Yes. This flanged ball valve can be fitted with pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuators for remote or automated control. Actuator options are available upon request. -
Q: What is the lead time for an order of these valves?
A: Lead time depends on the order quantity, size, material specification, and current production schedule. Standard configurations typically have shorter lead times. We provide estimated delivery schedules with every quotation. -
Q: How do I determine the correct material grade (e.g., SS304 vs. SS316) for my application?
A: The choice depends on the fluid's corrosiveness and operating environment. SS316 offers better resistance to chlorides (like seawater) compared to SS304. Our sales engineers can assist you in material selection based on your service conditions. -
Q: What kind of warranty or after-sales support do you provide?
A> We stand behind the quality of our products. Specific warranty terms are provided with the commercial contract. We also offer technical support for installation, operation, and maintenance inquiries.
