Automated Process Integration for Industrial Systems
The GF 355 Double Union Ball Valve in PVC-U/EPDM/BS1" is engineered for seamless integration into automated industrial pipelines. Its double union design allows for quick disassembly without disturbing the pipeline, ideal for maintenance in automated systems. The corrosion-resistant PVC-U body and EPDM seals ensure durability in aggressive environments, while the BS1" threaded connection (BSPT/BSPP) complies with British standards for secure, leak-free installation. Compatible with GF’s EA11 electric or Type 233 pneumatic actuators, this valve supports remote operation and precise flow control, enhancing efficiency in water treatment, chemical processing, and manufacturing. NSF 61 certification guarantees safety for potable water applications, aligning with automated systems’ hygiene requirements.
High-Performance Sealing & Compliance
Designed for industrial automation, the GF 355 valve offers a pressure rating of PN 16 (232 psi) and operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. The EPDM O-rings and HD-PE ball seals provide bubble-tight shutoff (ISO 5208 Class A), critical for preventing process interruptions in automated workflows. Its compact size (142mm length, 0.35kg weight) minimizes space usage in machinery, while flame-retardant and non-toxic properties meet global safety standards. FDA compliance extends its utility to food and pharmaceutical automation lines, ensuring compatibility with hygienic processes.
Modular Design for Adaptive Automation
The GF 355’s modular structure supports diverse automation needs, including irrigation, wastewater, and energy management. Its lightweight construction and tool-free assembly reduce downtime during system upgrades, while the bright-colored lever enables quick manual override in dual-mode operations. With a proven track record in GF’s 70-year legacy of plastic valve innovation, this model combines heritage engineering with modern automation readiness. Optional accessories like position indicators or smart sensors further enhance its integration with IoT-enabled systems, delivering sustainable performance for decades.
