SLV
Electric Flanged 2-Way Ball Valve
The SLV Electric Flanged 2-Way Ball Valve pairs a flanged ball valve with a VP-series electric actuator, so a control signal, not an operator's hand, opens and closes the line. It delivers tight shut-off with the convenience of remote, automated operation.
Product Benefits
- No plant air needed: Electric actuation calls for only a power supply and a control signal, which keeps installation simple in utility areas, remote skids and buildings without compressed-air service.
- On/off or modulating: The actuator comes in both versions, so the same valve family can handle simple isolation and basic flow adjustment alike.
- Straight into PLC or DCS: Standard industrial control signals and feedback contacts let the valve slot into the existing control system.
- Confirmed valve position: The control room sees actual position feedback rather than guesswork.
- Faster response: Compared with manually operated valves, this cuts response time and removes routine trips into the field.
Where It's Used
- Automated isolation: The valve handles isolation and control in industrial process and utility pipelines.
- Utility and process services: Typical settings include water treatment, HVAC and utility distribution, and general process services where a motorized quarter-turn valve is wanted.
- Wide size span: Body sizes cover duties from small branch lines up to large headers.
- Modulating duty: Modulating versions are chosen where a line needs coarse flow or blending adjustment from the control system.
- Remote block valve: On/off versions take care of remote block-valve duty.
Good to Know
- Material range: Body and ball materials run from stainless steel grades and carbon steel to duplex stainless for more demanding, corrosive services.
- Seats and seals: Choices span PTFE-family plastics and elastomers.
- Common supply voltages: Actuators are offered for several common AC and DC supplies, so matching the site's available power is straightforward.
- Three points to confirm: Settle the medium, the supply voltage and whether on/off or modulating behaviour is needed, because these three choices define the configuration.
- Gentle travel: Electric actuators move more slowly than pneumatic ones, which is often an advantage where gentle opening reduces pressure surge.
