Electric Actuated ABS Inch Ball Valves

At Pipestock, we offer a range of electric actuated ABS inch (imperial) ball valves, including T-port, L-port, plain, and threaded configurations, manufactured by industry leaders Georg Fischer and Durapipe. All our ABS ball valves are equipped with the advanced J+J J4C-S electric actuator, ensuring precise control and reliable automation across various industrial and commercial applications.

Using an electric actuator on an ABS ball valve allows for precise, automated control of fluid flow, making these valves ideal for applications where remote operation and accurate positioning are essential. Electric actuators eliminate the need for manual intervention, enhancing system efficiency and reducing downtime, especially in large or complex systems. Additionally, the J+J J4C-S actuator provides advanced features like multi-voltage capabilities, visual operation control, and electronic torque limiting, further improving operational safety and reliability.

Electric actuated ABS ball valves are used in a variety of applications, particularly where corrosion resistance and lightweight materials are important. Common industries include:

• Water Treatment: Ideal for controlling the flow of water in treatment plants due to ABS’s resistance to chemicals and its lightweight properties.
• Chemical Processing: Suitable for handling non-aggressive chemicals, ensuring efficient flow control in systems that do not require the strength of metal valves.
• Aquaculture and Marine: ABS is often used in aquariums, marine systems, and fish farming due to its resistance to saltwater and its non-toxic properties.
• Cooling and Refrigeration Systems: The low-temperature resistance of ABS makes it suitable for use in chilled water and cooling systems.

• Corrosion Resistance: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is highly resistant to corrosion from many chemicals, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial applications.
• Lightweight: ABS valves are lighter than metal valves, making installation easier and reducing the overall weight of piping systems, especially in large-scale applications.
• Cost-Effective: ABS is a more affordable option than metal valves, offering cost savings without sacrificing performance in appropriate applications.
• Good Temperature Performance: ABS performs well in low-temperature environments, making it suitable for refrigeration and chilled water systems.

• Lower Pressure Ratings: Compared to metal valves, ABS ball valves have lower pressure ratings, which may limit their use in high-pressure systems.
• Limited Chemical Resistance: While ABS offers good resistance to certain chemicals, it is not suitable for highly aggressive substances, which might require more chemically resistant materials like PVC or stainless steel.
• Temperature Limitations: ABS ball valves are not suitable for high-temperature applications, with an operational temperature limit that can range from -20°C to +60°C, which may restrict their use in environments with extreme heat.
