Ball valve with angled filter and butterfly handle ARCO 1/2" PN30 (model 152503)

ARCO ball valve 1/2" PN30 with an integrated angled filter and butterfly handle is designed for manual shut-off and basic inline filtration in water and non-corrosive fluid systems. The oblique filter element captures debris before it reaches downstream components, while the ball valve provides reliable flow isolation rated to PN30. The butterfly handle allows quick quarter-turn operation and a compact installation footprint suitable for residential and light-commercial piping and heating circuits.

Advantages

The combination of a ball valve and angled filter reduces the need for separate strainer assemblies, saving space and simplifying maintenance. The PN30 pressure rating ensures suitability for many plumbing and heating applications where higher working pressures are present. The butterfly handle offers intuitive manual control and fast operation, and the oblique filter design helps protect pumps, meters and heat exchangers from particulate contamination. Construction and sealing elements are selected for compatibility with water and non-corrosive fluids, providing stable shut-off performance.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply shut-off and filtration
• Heating circuit isolation and protection
• Light-commercial plumbing systems
• Protection of pumps, meters and heat exchangers from debris

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/2"
• Pressure rating: PN30 (suitable for higher-pressure water and non-corrosive fluid lines)
• Integrated angled (oblique) filter element for inline debris retention
• Manual butterfly handle for quarter-turn operation
• Compact inline design for tight installation spaces
• Suitable for water and non-corrosive fluids

How to use

Install the valve in the pipeline following flow direction recommendations and standard plumbing practices, ensuring the angled filter faces the incoming flow for effective debris capture. Use the butterfly handle to perform a quarter-turn to open or close the valve; check seal tightness after installation and before placing the system into full service. Periodically isolate the valve and remove accumulated debris from the filter element according to the system's maintenance schedule to maintain flow and prevent pressure loss.

Usage recommendations

Check compatibility with fluid type and system pressure before installation. Regular inspection and cleaning of the angled filter will extend operational life and protect downstream equipment. For installations with aggressive chemicals or temperatures outside normal potable water ranges, select materials and components specifically rated for those conditions.
