GF PIPING SYSTEMS

The listed GF Piping Systems PVC ball valves include a 2-inch full-port model with FNPT x FNPT connections and a tee handle (MPN 161375022). Other PVC valve families in the catalog cover sizes from 1/2 inch through 3 inch, with connection options that include socket, spigot, FNPT, and true-union combinations. For example, the V-port metering valves are offered in 1/2 inch with female connections or true-union socket and FNPT ends. Pneumatically actuated two-way ball valves are listed in 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1 1/2 inch, and 2 inch sizes with socket x socket connections. Buyers should confirm the specific size, end connection, and port style against the manufacturer part number before ordering.

The GF Piping Systems PVC V-port metering ball valve listed with female connections (MPN 161523522) is rated for a maximum pressure of 150 psi CWP. The true-union socket and FNPT version (MPN 161523532) is part of the same metering valve family. Pressure ratings for thermoplastic valves depend on the body material, size, and temperature of the service fluid. The 150 psi CWP figure applies to the specific 1/2 inch PVC model shown. For other sizes or materials, the rating may differ. Verify the rating against the intended operating pressure and temperature before installation.

No. The GF Piping Systems pneumatically actuated two-way ball valves listed by 3G Electric are supplied without a pilot solenoid. The catalog entries for MPNs 199253063, 199253064, 199253065, and 199253067 note that the pilot solenoid voltage is not included. This means the buyer must specify and source the solenoid separately to match the available control voltage and signal type. The valves themselves are PVC two-piece bodies with socket x socket connections, intended for automated on/off flow control in compatible-fluid piping systems. Confirm the actuator air supply requirements and solenoid compatibility with the valve actuator before commissioning.

The GF Piping Systems PVC V-port ball valve uses a V-shaped ball opening that allows gradual flow regulation and throttling, making it suitable for metering and flow-control applications. The standard PVC ball valve, such as the 2-inch full-port model (MPN 161375022), is designed primarily for manual on/off isolation with a tee handle. The V-port design provides a more linear control characteristic than a standard full-port ball, which is either largely open or closed. Both are PVC-bodied valves, but the V-port version is selected when the process requires adjustable flow rather than simple shutoff. The V-port valves listed are 1/2 inch with female or true-union connections and a 150 psi CWP rating.

The GF Piping Systems Y-style piston check valve with PVC body and spigot x spigot connections for 3-inch pipe (MPN 192304013) is used to prevent backflow in low-pressure fluid systems. The Y-pattern body houses a piston that opens with forward flow and closes when flow reverses or stops. Typical applications include water treatment, chemical processing, and irrigation lines where reverse flow could contaminate a supply or damage downstream equipment. The spigot ends are intended for socket fusion or solvent cement joining to matching pipe. Verify chemical compatibility of the PVC body and piston seals with the process fluid, and confirm the cracking pressure and flow direction before installation.

The GF Piping Systems items currently listed by 3G Electric are PVC-bodied valves, including ball valves, V-port metering valves, Y-pattern check valves, and pneumatically actuated ball valves. GF Piping Systems manufactures valves and piping components in other thermoplastics such as CPVC, PP, PE, PVDF, and ABS, as well as metal configurations, but those specific items are not shown in the current catalog extract. Buyers needing alternative materials, larger sizes, or different connection standards should request a quote with the required specifications. 3G Electric sources GF Piping Systems components as individual part numbers and can check availability against the manufacturer part number or the required material, size, and pressure rating.
