Ball valves are elements of water installations that remain invisible during everyday use. They are usually installed in special cabinets. Despite this inconspicuous nature, they are among the most common solutions and are available in many variants. In stores, you will come across models that differ, among others, in type or 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. Discover the Ferro F-Comfort series!

F-Comfort ball valve - what is it?
F-Comfort valves were created as a response to the growing requirements of customers. These are water ball valves that definitely stand out from the competition. They are distinguished primarily by above-average hygienic values, 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 of valve stem clearances,
- a durable body with increased hygienic properties,
- interchangeable identification bands,
- PTFE sealing elements,
- chrome-plated and polished ball, preventing the "sticking" 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 - 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, it is immediately known where and how it should be installed. The data on the label also indicates the length of the warranty period, so the use of the valve is comfortable and trouble-free.
All these advantages translate into recognition in the form of certificates characterizing 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 Hygiene Certificate of the National Institutes of Hygiene in Warsaw. It also won the Gold Medal at the International Installation Fair in Poznań - Instalacje 2020/2021.

Where to use F-Comfort ball valves?
The ball valve is characterized by a very wide range of applications. It can usually be found in domestic hot and cold water installations. It allows for quick closing and opening of its supply. Importantly, ball valves are also important elements of central heating and gas systems. Due to their functionality and reliability, they can also be found in industry - they are used in the chemical, food and refinery industries.
The F-Comfort series ball valves are primarily used to control the flow in drinking water installations. They are therefore ideal for systems supplying water to kitchens and bathrooms.

What is the advantage of F-Comfort valves over competitive products?
When characterizing the F-Comfort series ball valves, it is worth mentioning first of all 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 brand fittings also have all the necessary certificates for materials used for sealing.
However, this is just the beginning of the advantages of F-Comfort valves, proving their advantage over the competition. It is also worth remembering the unique functional solutions that characterize Ferro ball valves - additional clamps that facilitate service work and the already mentioned labels.
Each ball valve from the F-Comfort series has bands attached to the handle. They can be blue or red and are used to identify whether the tap has been installed on a hot or cold water pipe. This convenience is very intuitive and proves to be very helpful during any installation or service work. It also facilitates the ongoing operation of the valve.
Information labels take the form of tags, which provide the most important features and parameters of the valves. 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 concerns aspects such as the intended use (drinking water), the material used (brass body), the warranty period and the manufacturer's contact details. The labels also include barcodes and serial numbers, which enable retail sale. Thanks to all this information, not only the purchase, but also the installation and operation of the valves is convenient and trouble-free. For both installers and users, this means saving time and money.
The increased hygienic values of the F-Comfort series taps are their greatest advantage, but it is also worth remembering the increased resistance of the valves. During the strength 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.
