Added: Monday, 6/7/2021


Ball valves are elements of water installations that remain invisible during everyday use. They are usually installed in special cabinets. Despite this inconspicuous character, they are among the most common solutions and are available in many variants. In stores you will find models that differ, among other things, in type and nominal diameter. Their quality determines not only the durability of the entire installation, but also the comfort and safety of using water on a daily basis. That is why the Ferro brand has introduced a completely new standard of ball valves to the market. Get to know the Ferro F-Comfort series!

From the article you will learn:

  • what are F-Comfort ball valves,
  • what are the advantages of F-Comfort ball valves,
  • in what situations it is worth using F-Comfort ball valves,
  • what is the advantage of F-Comfort valves over the competition.

F-Comfort ball valve - what is it?

F-Comfort valves were created as a response to the increasing customer requirements. These are water ball taps that definitely stand out from competing products. They are distinguished primarily by their above-average hygienic properties, thanks to which they can come into contact with drinking water. The new standard guarantees users of the installation a high level of safety and comfort.

The products consist of:

  • a choke enabling compensation for valve stem play,
  • durable body with improved hygiene,
  • replaceable identification bands,
  • PTFE sealing elements,
  • chrome-plated and polished ball, preventing the "baking" effect.

F-Comfort series ball valves are characterized by a number of practical properties that make them versatile and reliable products. Their advantages include ease of selection, installation and use. Thanks to the use of a barcode, there is no need to look for information on the box - just a quick scan is enough to perfectly match the valve to the installation. Each variant has comprehensive information on the label regarding the nominal diameter, purpose and operating parameters. Thanks to this, you immediately know where and how it should be installed. The data on the label also indicates the length of the warranty period, so operation of the valve is comfortable and trouble-free.

All these advantages translate into recognition in the form of certificates for the best ball valves on the market. The F-Comfort series boasts the National Technical Assessment of the Building Research Institute in Warsaw and the Hygienic Certificate of the National Institute of Hygiene in Warsaw. She also won the Gold Medal at the International Installation Fair in Poznań - Instalacje 2020/2021.

What is the advantage of F-Comfort valves over competitive products?

When characterizing the F-Comfort series ball valves, it should first of all be mentioned that their body is made of CW671-4MS brass , based on the 4MS project guidelines. This makes them devices compliant with the latest European hygiene requirements for materials used in the production of sanitary elements that may come into contact with drinking water. Ferro fittings also have all the necessary certificates for the materials used for sealing.

However, this is only the beginning of the advantages of F-Comfort valves, proving their advantage over the competition. You should also remember about the unique functional solutions that Ferro ball valves feature - additional bands that facilitate service work and the already mentioned labels.

Each ball valve from the F-Comfort series has bands attached to the handle. They may be blue or red in color and are used to identify whether the tap is installed on a hot or cold water pipe. This facility is very intuitive and proves to be very helpful during any installation or service work. It also facilitates ongoing valve operation.

Information labels take the form of hangers containing the most important features and parameters of the taps. Both the installer and the user will learn from them what the nominal diameter of the valve is, the recommended temperature and operating pressure. The data also covers aspects such as purpose (drinking water), material used (brass body), warranty period and manufacturer's contact details. The labels also include barcodes and batch numbers that enable retail sales. Thanks to all this information, not only the purchase, but also the installation and operation of the valves is comfortable and hassle-free. This saves time and money for both installers and users.

The increased hygienic properties of the F-Comfort series faucets are their greatest advantage, but you also need to remember about the increased resistance of the valves. During endurance tests, they showed significantly better parameters than competitive products. Out of 24 measurements, Ferro products achieved the highest values 23 times. The valves owe this to, among other things, CW617N-4MS brass and the use of Advanced Body Technology. They are resistant to both pressure and installation in hard-to-reach places.
