PERLA D32x1 Female Ball Valve PN16

The PERLA D32x1 female ball valve is a robust plumbing component engineered for precise flow regulation in water supply systems. Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, this valve offers excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation, ensuring a long service life in various environments. With a pressure rating of PN16, it provides reliable performance under demanding conditions, making it a dependable choice for both residential and industrial piping networks.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this ball valve is its durable polypropylene construction, which maintains structural integrity while remaining lightweight and easy to install. The internal thread design ensures a secure and leak-proof connection, minimizing the risk of water loss or system failure. Its smooth operation allows for quick and efficient shut-off, providing users with total control over fluid flow within their plumbing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Industrial fluid distribution networks
• Irrigation and agricultural piping
• General plumbing maintenance and repair

This valve may not be suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding the thermal limits of polypropylene or for systems carrying aggressive chemicals that are incompatible with this material. It is also not intended for use in high-pressure steam systems or environments where the valve might be subjected to extreme mechanical stress or vibration.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene
• Connection type: 1-inch internal thread
• Pipe diameter: 32 mm
• Pressure rating: 16 Bar
• Color: Blue and black

To install the valve, ensure the piping is clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the male pipe end before screwing it into the valve's internal thread. Tighten the connection using standard plumbing tools, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the polypropylene threads. Once installed, slowly open the valve to check for leaks before putting the system into full operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1-inch internal thread matches your existing pipe fittings.
• Ensure the 32 mm diameter is compatible with your current piping system.
• Confirm that the operating pressure of your system does not exceed 16 Bar.
• Check the chemical compatibility of polypropylene with the fluid being transported.

For optimal longevity, it is recommended to cycle the valve handle periodically to prevent mineral buildup and ensure the internal ball mechanism remains free-moving. Avoid using excessive force when operating the handle to maintain the integrity of the internal seals.
