ANKA
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ANKA from 3G Electric.
What materials are ANKA float valve bodies made from?
ANKA float valve bodies are typically made from thermoplastic, as seen in models like the XF and PB series. This material is chosen for its corrosion resistance and suitability for water media. The float material is also plastic, and the valves are designed for bulkhead mounting with MNPT or NPT connections.
What is the maximum pressure rating for ANKA foot valves?
ANKA foot valves, such as the AFV series, have a maximum pressure rating of 230 psi (CWP). They feature nitrile rubber seals and seats, with plastic strainers, and are available in FNPT connection sizes. This rating applies to full-flow spring foot valves used in pump applications.
Are ANKA check valves suitable for inline installation?
Yes, ANKA offers nylon inline disc check valves, such as the ACV34 model, which are designed for inline installation with FNPT x FNPT connections. The valve body is made from glass-filled nylon, and the disc configuration allows for compact placement in piping systems.
What standards do ANKA float valves comply with?
ANKA float valves comply with various standards depending on the model. For example, the XF series is listed under UL and ULC standards, while the PB series meets CSA requirements. Some models also carry WQA certification, indicating they are tested for water quality applications.
Can I get replacement screens for ANKA foot valves?
Yes, ANKA offers replacement foot valve screens, such as the FVSOCK model, which is made from 100-micron polyester mesh. These screens are compatible with specific foot valve models like the AFV1, and they are available through 3G Electric for maintenance purposes.
What is the flow rate of ANKA float valves?
ANKA float valves, including the XF and PB series, have a flow rate of 95 gpm at 175 psi. This specification applies to angle valve bodies with bulkhead mounting, designed for water media. The flow rate is consistent across multiple models in these series.
