Ball valve water DN 100 WKP 2a 1.6 MPa APA10010016160

Application and Media

The valve is designed for systems conveying media that do not react with carbon steel—primarily water, oils, and air. It operates safely in district heating, air conditioning, water supply, and other industrial installations. Compliant with Directive 97/23/EC for Group 2 fluids, meaning it can be used in pressurized systems without additional restrictions.

Construction and Operation

This full-bore ball valve with flanged connections features a simple yet effective design: a floating ball with seals ensures tight shut-off, while the stem is sealed with an O-ring—this solution minimizes the risk of leaks during cyclic operation. The valve is disassemblable, facilitating maintenance and seal replacement without the need to dismantle the entire assembly. The option to mount a worm gear actuator or to connect it to an actuator provides flexibility—it can be operated manually or automatically, depending on the installation requirements.

Operating Conditions and Compliance

It operates at a maximum pressure of 1.6 MPa (16 bar), meeting standard requirements for most district heating and industrial networks. The temperature range is -30°C to +200°C, allowing use in both cooling systems and high-temperature steam circuits. The version with code APA10010016160 complies with PN-EN 12266-1 regarding tightness and strength testing of valves. The CE certificate confirms compliance with applicable EU regulations.

The valve weighs 19.7 kg—sufficiently heavy to ensure stability during flanged installation, yet within practical limits for transport and handling.
