2 Piece Wras Approved Asahi Electric Actuator Ball Valves

The Wras approved ball valve features a full bore flow which allow for maximum flow with minimal pressure drop. The quality brass body allows for operating pressures capable of meeting PN40 ratings. Series 94 electric actuators have an output torque range from 150 in/lbs to 300 in/lbs, which makes them ideal for controlling small to medium sized valves. They can be used indoors or outdoors without concern for rain or dirt affecting their performance thanks to its IP67 rating. When it comes to safety, the Asahi Electric Actuator has your back. In case of a power failure this model will still allow you operate process lines through its hand-operated opening/closing mechanism and can be used in facilities such as manufacturing plants for industrial environments.

Key Features

Key features and benefits of AV-L4500AS Actuated Ball Valves.
1

Key Features

The Asahi electric actuator has a compact design, making it easy to install in very confined areas. It also requires no air supply which makes the device ideal for remote locations where running long air lines might not be practical or possible.
2

Key Features

Dual conduit entries as standard across the Asahi electric actuator range prevent potential cross feed between power, control and feedback wiring. 1/2" NPT connections are available as standard with additional options for 3/4" NPT, M20 and 1/2" BSPP from stock.
3

Key Features

The Wras ball valve is easy to install, operates smoothly, and closes quickly with minimal effort. This industrial grade product can handle up to 40 bar working pressures when used in applications where PN40 ratings are required.

Wras Approved Actuated Ball Valves

WRAS approval is a mandatory requirement for any product that carries or receives drinking water from the public mains in the UK. It provides proof that our products have been tested by an independent body to ensure they meet all relevant standards and requirements as set out by Government. The AV4500 is a Wras Approved Ball Valve suitable for use drinking water.

Frequent Interrogation

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the valves meet regulatory standards for use in potable water systems in the UK. WRAS tests for materials, construction and performance.

Common materials are dezincification resistant brass or stainless steel. WRAS has requirements for leachable lead and other substances that could contaminate drinking water.

2-piece valves have the body and ball as one part, with the stem as the second part. This makes them more compact but non-serviceable. 3-piece valves can be disassembled for servicing.

Typical end connections are copper tube connectors, compression fittings and push-fit connectors. Threaded BSP or NPT connections are also sometimes used.

Common handles are cross type lever handles, tee handles and round knobs. Locking handles are also available to prevent tampering. Extended handles allow ease of operation in tight spaces.

Most 2-piece WRAS approved valves have pressure ratings of up to 400 psi (27 bar) and temperatures up to 230°F (110°C), with some high pressure models rated beyond this. Always confirm ratings for your application.

Many have full or near full-port openings to minimise flow restriction. Actual flow depends on valve size - 1/2” to 2" are common sizes for plumbing uses.

Typical applications are water supply lines, sinks, toilets, water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers and other household water control.

No special maintenance is required, just periodic inspection for leaks and smooth operation. Replacement is needed if a valve fails.

Most come with manufacturer warranties from 3-10 years depending on materials and brand. Some offer extended warranties against leaking.

Fail-Safe Battery Backup

Fail-Safe Battery Backup is available for this product. In the event of a possible power failure the Actuator will return the Valve to a desired position. Ideal for critical line applications where safety is paramount. Will need some additional details from you.
