Brass Ball Valves with Neck Extensions

Brass Ball Valves with Neck Extensions are a specialised type of ball valve designed to provide extended reach for easier operation in applications where the valve needs to be located in a hard-to-reach or concealed area. These valves feature a threaded neck or stem extension, allowing users to control the flow of fluids without directly accessing the valve body. They are typically made of durable brass, offering corrosion resistance and robust performance. Brass Ball Valves with Neck Extensions are commonly used in industrial settings, utility installations, and situations where space constraints or accessibility challenges make traditional valve operation difficult.

AV-7169 / 4179 Brass Ball Valve with Neck Extension

The AV-7169 and 4179 are specialised types of ball valves designed to facilitate installation in pipelines or systems where the valve needs to be mounted at a distance from the pipe or surface. They feature a longer, slender neck or stem attached to the ball, allowing for remote operation. This design provides convenience in applications where these valves may be enclosed within insulation, located in a hard-to-reach area, or placed inside a protective housing. Brass construction ensures resistance to corrosion and durability. The valves operate on the same principle as a standard ball valve, using a quarter-turn motion to control the flow of fluids. Brass Ball Valves with Neck Extensions are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and HVAC systems where extended reach is required for ease of access and operation.

Size Range: 1/4" to 4"
Body Materials: Brass
Body Type: Nickel Plated Brass CW 617 N
Applications:
Pressure Rating: PN40 (¼” to ½”) PN32 (¾” & 1”) PN25 (1¼” & 2½”) PN16 (3” & 4”)
End Connections: Screwed BSPP

Frequently Asked Questions

A brass ball valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluids in plumbing systems and other applications. It features a spherical closure (ball) with a hole through it for fluid to pass.

Brass ball valves are known for their durability, corrosion resistance, and reliability. They are suitable for a wide range of applications and provide a secure shut-off.

Brass ball valves work by turning the handle, which rotates the ball inside the valve. When the hole in the ball aligns with the flow direction, fluid can pass through; when closed, it blocks the flow.

Brass ball valves come in various configurations, including full-port, reduced-port, and multi-port options, each designed for specific applications.

Wafer pattern valves are designed for installation between two flanges at intermediate points within the process pipeline, while lugged pattern valves use threaded lugs for precise self-centering capabilities and are commonly used as dead-end service valves or for maintenance purposes.

Brass ball valves can be used in high-pressure systems, but it's essential to choose the right type and size to match the pressure requirements.

Brass ball valves generally require minimal maintenance. Regular inspection and lubrication of the handle may be needed for smooth operation.

Yes, brass ball valves can be used for controlling gas flow, but it's crucial to select models designed for gas applications.

Yes, brass ball valves are suitable for potable water systems, but it's essential to use lead-free valves for drinking water. These can be identified through whether such valve has WRAS Approval.

Installing and replacing brass ball valves typically involves cutting and soldering or threading the pipe ends to connect the valve securely.
