Water ball valve Herkules type V17- 5/4 inch with handle KPH4

Herkules Water Ball Valve – Reliability and Durability in Every Inch

This reinforced Herkules ball valve, with a 5/4-inch diameter, is designed for demanding installers and users who value reliability and long-term performance. Manufactured from high-quality brass (CuZn40Pb2 – CW617N), it ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. Suitable for potable water systems, it also performs reliably in installations using glycol mixtures or compressed air.

The valve combines a robust construction with thoughtful technical solutions, such as a dual PTFE stem seal that guarantees leak-tightness over many years. The full-port bore minimizes pressure loss, while an integrated stem damping mechanism compensates for any potential play. BSPP-G threads (ISO 228-1) with multiple turns ensure secure and leak-proof connections.

Construction and Applications

The Herkules valve has been engineered for universal application. It performs equally well in residential and industrial systems where high pressure resistance (PN 40, maximum operating pressure 4 MPa) and temperature tolerance (up to 150°C) are required. Its specially treated internal surface makes it ideal for potable water applications. It holds the Technical Approval ITB AT-15-7431/2007, confirming compliance with applicable standards.

• Body Material: Brass (CuZn40Pb2 – CW617N) – ensures durability and corrosion resistance.
• Connections: Internal cylindrical gas threads BSPP-G (ISO 228-1), 3/4 inch and 1 1/4 inch – standard fittings for easy installation.
• Sealing: Dual PTFE stem seals – ensure long-term leak-tightness.
• Application: Potable water, glycol/water mixtures, compressed air – wide range of uses.
• Temperature Range: Up to 150°C – suitable for diverse operating conditions.

Benefits for Installer and User

The Herkules valve is an investment in peace of mind. Its robust construction and high manufacturing quality translate into years of trouble-free operation. Easy installation and adjustment save time for installers, while users benefit from long-lasting, reliable system performance. Additionally, the manufacturer’s 15-year warranty confirms its superior quality and durability. The chrome-plated ball resists “seizing,” ensuring smooth operation even after prolonged use. Thick wall construction provides high mechanical strength and resistance to elevated operating pressures.
