The Philmac Compression Ball Valve provides a convenient way to control or shut off water flow in polyethylene (HDPE) water lines. Its compression connections allow the valve to be installed directly into compatible poly pipe without traditional gluing or heat fusion.
Designed for dependable water control, it is an excellent addition to livestock watering systems, rotational grazing water networks, irrigation lines, and pasture water systems where individual sections may need to be isolated for maintenance or seasonal use.
Key Features
Compression Connections: Designed to connect directly to compatible HDPE/polyethylene pipe.
Quick Shut-Off: Ball valve design provides simple on/off water control.
230 PSI Rated: Suitable for water systems operating at pressures up to 230 PSI.
NSF 61 Certified: Suitable for potable water applications.
ASTM D3035 IPS Compatible: Designed for compatible IPS-OD polyethylene pipe manufactured to ASTM D3035.
Ideal for Pasture Water Systems: Makes it easy to isolate sections of a livestock watering network without shutting down the entire system.
No Glue or Heat Fusion: Compression design provides a convenient mechanical connection to compatible poly pipe.
Reusable Connection: Can be disassembled when needed for system changes or maintenance.
