Specifications

A 2-piece standard port bronze ball valve to be installed as
indicated on the plans. The valve must have a blowout proof
pressure retaining stem, Durafill

®

seats (1⁄2" and 11⁄4" – 2") or

Uniseal

®

seats (3⁄4" & 1"), reinforced PTFE stem packing seal,
and chrome plated brass ball. Pressure rating no less than
600psi (41 bar) WOG non-shock for threaded end and 400psi
(28 bar) WOG non-shock for solder end. Valve shall be a
Watts Regulator Company Series B6010, B6011 or B6013.

Options

Suffix

SS – Stainless steel ball and stem

VT – Virgin PTFE seat material

Pressure – Temperature

Temperature Range: 0°F – 225°F (-18°C – 107°C)

Maximum Working Pressure: 600psi (41 bar) WOG non-shock
for threaded end and 400psi (28 bar) WOG non-shock for sol­der end @ 100°F (38°C). Not rated for steam service due to
union end gasket.

*This valve is designed to be soft soldered into lines without
disassembly, using a low temperature solder 420°F (215°C).
Other solders such as 95/5 tin antimony 460°F (238°C) can be
used. However, extreme caution must be used to prevent seat
damage. Higher temperature solders will damage the seat
material. ANSI B.15.18 states that the maximum operating
pressure of 50-50 solder connections is 200 psi (14 bar) at
100°F (38°C) and decreases with higher temperature.

Apply heat with the flame directed AWAY from the center of the
valve body. Excessive heat can harm the seats. After soldering,
the packing nut may have to be tightened.
