Durapipe UK, in partnership with its sister company FIP, has launched the new VKD ball valve. The VKD valve incorporates a patented “Dual Block” control, which offers anti-vibration properties. This quality makes it a suitable solution for a range of extreme and testing environments, in particular hard working conditions where vibration or thermal expansion occur. An additional feature of the VKD valve is that the valve body is shaped to allow the installation of an actuation device, with the use of PowerQuick, the new actuation module. Available in ABS, PVC-U, PVC-C, Polypropylene and PVDF materials, the VKD valve has been produced with the latest injection moulding technologies, making it suitable for use in severe industrial applications, with working pressures of up to 16bar at 20C. The new valve has the same dimensional body length as the existing VK valve option, ranging from 16mm to 110mm and 3/8’’ to 4’’, making both valve solutions fully interchangeable.
