1. Automated Flow Control for Corrosive Environments
The GF 360 Series PVC-U/EPDM JISd63 DN50 Ball Check Valve is engineered for automated industrial systems handling aggressive fluids. Its spherical design ensures bidirectional flow with minimal pressure loss, while the corrosion-resistant PVC-U body and EPDM seals withstand chemicals, wastewater, and potable water applications. The JISd63 flange connection simplifies integration into Japanese-standard pipelines, and the compact structure (shortened by 30% compared to traditional models) saves space in automated machinery. NSF 61 and FDA certifications guarantee compliance with hygienic standards, making it ideal for food processing and water treatment.
2. High-Performance Sealing & Rapid Response
Designed for reliable automation, this valve offers bubble-tight shutoff (ISO 5208 Class A) and quick closure to prevent water hammer. The rubber-coated HD-PE ball provides silent operation and self-cleaning properties, reducing maintenance in systems with suspended solids. With a pressure rating of PN 16 (232 psi) and temperature range of 0°C to 60°C, it suits high-pressure, high-flow environments. WRAS approval ensures safety in UK drinking water networks, while the lightweight design (0.86–0.95 kg) facilitates easy installation in automated assembly lines.
3. Versatile Installation & Longevity
The GF 360 Ball Check Valve supports horizontal or vertical mounting, adapting to diverse automation layouts. Its modular design allows retrofitting with sensors or actuators for IoT integration, enhancing real-time monitoring. Flame-retardant properties and UV resistance extend service life in outdoor settings, while the true union design enables tool-free maintenance without disrupting pipelines. Ideal for chemical processing, irrigation, and wastewater treatment, this valve combines GF’s 70-year expertise in plastic valves with modern automation needs, delivering sustainable performance and cost efficiency.
