1-inch water ball valve Hercules with filter KZFH3

Ball Valve with Filter – 1 Inch – Reliability and Convenience in One

This Herkules ball valve, manufactured from high-quality brass, is a robust and durable solution for your water system. Designed for use in water supply systems, central heating, and compressed air installations, it ensures safe and efficient flow shut-off. The built-in stainless steel filter protects the system from contaminants, while the full-port design guarantees zero pressure drop.

This valve is ideal for both professionals and homeowners. Installation is simple thanks to BSPP-G threaded connections with a 1-inch (25 mm) diameter. The solid construction and precise manufacturing ensure long-term, trouble-free operation.

Construction and Materials – Guarantee of Durability

The valve has been engineered for maximum reliability. The body and ball are made of brass (CuZn40Pb2 – CW617N), providing excellent resistance to corrosion and high pressure. The ball is chrome-plated and polished to enhance durability and reduce the risk of seizing. Seals for the ball and stem are made of PTFE (Teflon), ensuring leak-tightness and smooth operation. Additionally, the valve features a double stem seal, further increasing its reliability.

The valve surface is nickel-plated, offering additional corrosion protection and an elegant finish. A flow restrictor integrated into the stem allows precise tuning of the valve to operating conditions, while the threaded connections with multiple threads ensure leak-proof sealing without the need for additional sealants.

Operating Parameters and Compliance with Standards

The Herkules valve features high operational parameters: a nominal pressure rating of up to 40 bar and a maximum operating temperature of 140°C. It is suitable for use with hot and cold water, 50% glycol solution, and compressed air. The valve holds Technical Approvals from the Institute of Building Technology (ITB) and a Hygiene Certificate from the State Hygiene Institute, confirming its safety and suitability for residential and industrial applications. The Manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity is available on the Ferro S.A. website.
