Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HAYWARD FLOW CONTROL from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in Hayward Flow Control actuated ball valves?
Hayward Flow Control actuated ball valves are constructed from thermoplastic materials, primarily PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride). These materials are selected for their corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and durability in water and chemical handling applications. PVC is suitable for a wide range of temperatures and pressures, while CPVC offers higher temperature tolerance. The valves also feature components such as EPDM or FKM seals, depending on the model, to ensure leak-tight operation.
What actuator options are available for Hayward Flow Control ball valves?
Hayward Flow Control offers both electrically and pneumatically actuated ball valves. Electric actuators are available in voltages such as 120V AC and 24 to 265V AC/DC, and include features like thermal overload protection and position indicators. Pneumatic actuators are available in air-to-spring or air-to-air configurations, with options for pilot solenoid valves (not included on some models). Both actuator types are designed to ISO 5211 mounting standards for easy integration with the valve body.
What is the port design of Hayward Flow Control actuated ball valves?
Hayward Flow Control actuated ball valves typically feature a full-port ball port design. This means the ball port diameter is equal to the pipe inner diameter, allowing for unrestricted flow and minimal pressure drop across the valve. Full-port design is advantageous in applications where flow efficiency is critical, such as in water treatment or chemical processing systems.
What standards do Hayward Flow Control CPVC actuated ball valves comply with?
Hayward Flow Control CPVC actuated ball valves, such as those in the PSS series, comply with NSF/ANSI 372, which is a standard for low-lead content in plumbing products. This compliance ensures the valves meet regulatory requirements for potable water applications. Additionally, the valves are designed for use with water media and feature true-union socket or NPT connection types for secure installation.
What sizes are available for Hayward Flow Control electrically actuated ball valves?
Hayward Flow Control electrically actuated ball valves are available in sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 2 inches. For example, models include 1/2 inch (MPN EAUTBH105STV), 3/4 inch (MPN EATBH107STE), 1 1/2 inch (MPN EAUTBH115STV), and 2 inch (MPN ECPTBH220STV) variants. These sizes cover a range of pipe diameters commonly used in industrial and commercial fluid systems.
What is the IP rating of Hayward Flow Control pneumatically actuated ball valves?
Hayward Flow Control pneumatically actuated ball valves, such as those in the PSS series, are not rated with a specific IP (Ingress Protection) rating. This means they are not certified for protection against dust or water ingress. For applications requiring environmental sealing, additional enclosures or protective measures may be necessary. The valves are designed for indoor or controlled environments where exposure to moisture or particulates is limited.
