Ball valve with tee for heat meter sensor 1/2" FERRO KMT1

FERRO KMT1 is a 1/2" ball valve with an integrated tee designed for connection of a heat meter sensor. Intended for installation on heating system pipelines, the device combines a shut-off ball valve and a dedicated branch for mounting a temperature sensor without interrupting the main flow. The compact design and standard pipe connection sizes make it suitable for both residential and commercial metering installations where a reliable sensor branch and isolation function are required.

Advantages

The valve provides combined flow control and sensor integration in a single component, reducing the need for additional fittings and simplifying installation. Its ball valve mechanism allows quick shut-off of the pipeline for maintenance or sensor replacement while the tee enables secure and repeatable placement of a heat meter sensor. Constructed to match typical heating system dimensions, the product supports accurate temperature measurement and helps maintain hydraulic integrity of the pipeline.

Suitable for

• Installation on domestic and small commercial heating system supply or return lines
• Mounting a heat meter temperature sensor branch without interrupting flow
• Situations requiring a compact shut-off valve combined with sensor access

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/2" compatible with standard heating fittings
• Type: ball valve with integrated tee for sensor insertion
• Function: manual shut-off and sensor branch
• Application: heating system pipelines (supply or return)
• Design: compact configuration to minimize space requirement

How to use

Install the valve in-line on the chosen heating circuit using appropriate sealing and compatible fittings. Orient the tee for convenient access to the heat meter sensor and tighten connections to the torque recommended for the pipeline material. Insert the temperature sensor into the tee and secure it according to the sensor manufacturer's instructions. Use the ball handle to isolate the pipeline when performing sensor maintenance or replacement; operate the valve in fully open or fully closed positions to avoid partial-throttle flow that may affect measurement accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of the sensor sheath diameter and insertion depth with the tee before installation, and ensure that the system is depressurized and cooled to a safe temperature prior to fitting or servicing the valve. Regularly check threaded joints for tightness and inspect for leaks after installation or maintenance.
