The Altecnic Intaball range of gas lever ball valves is one of the first UK products to be certified to EN 331:2015 (Class C), a first for the UK’s plumbing and heating industry.
An assessment conducted at the Altecnic’s manufacturing partners facility in Italy ensures that all the necessary processes are in place for the manufacturing of components in accordance with EN 331:2015 (Class C).
Based on European Standard EN 331:2015, which incorporates additional and stringent testing under fire conditions, it is the benchmark by which ‘state of the art’ compliance is judged for products that can be incorporated into gas appliances.
Simultaneously, BSI will issue Construction Product Regulation (CPR) certification, centred around EN 331:1998 + A1:2018, which is listed in the EU Official Journal as providing the necessary presumption of conformity.
Altecnic’s Intaball ball valves for gas are lever-operated through 90 degrees with the bi-directional flow and incorporate a hard chrome-plated ball for improved wear resistance. Featuring PTFE body seats for reliable isolation, the valves are designed for applications characterised by high flow rates with minimum pressure drops.
