July 1, 2023 | By Mary Page Bailey and Gerald Ondrey

The GFPP-B TB Series ball valve (photo) is constructed of glass-filled polyproylene black (GFPP-B), which increases the range of piping applications that can be serviced with this company’s True Union ball valve product line to include chemical handling, mining, agriculture, hydroponics, aquaculture and other corrosive applications. Available in sizes ranging from 0.5 to 2 in., the new GFPP-B TB Series features a full port design, with true union-threaded or flanged-end connections. The valves have a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi with threaded (NPT or BSPT) or flanged ends (ANSI 150 or PN10), and a maximum service temperature of 240°F. The GFPP-B material provides excellent impact and ultraviolet (UV) resistance. Other features include double O-ring stem seals, easy actuation, reversible seats and more. Further options include pneumatic or electric actuation, manual limit switches, stem extensions, transition fittings and PVC socket ends. — Hayward Flow Control, Berkeley Heights, N.J.
