Ideal Filter Ball Valve

Ideal Filter Ball Valve

The Ideal Filter Ball Valve is a compact and practical solution for appliances and heating systems that require regular maintenance and protection from dirty or contaminated water supplies. By filtering the water while also allowing the flow to be isolated when required, it provides useful protection for compatible equipment and helps support reliable system performance. The extended filter element is almost twice the length of those found in similar filter ball valves. This larger filtering area is designed to allow longer periods between cleaning and can help reduce the frequency of clogging, making routine maintenance more convenient.

Filtration and Isolation in One Valve

The Ideal Filter Ball Valve combines two useful functions in a single compact component. The integrated strainer helps filter debris and unwanted particles from the water supply, while the ball valve allows the water flow to be isolated when maintenance or servicing is required. This makes it a practical choice for systems where protecting equipment from dirty water and providing straightforward access for maintenance are both important.

Extended Filter Element

The filter element has been designed with increased length compared with many similar filter ball valves. With a strainer mesh size of 500 ?m (0.5 mm), it helps capture larger particles and debris that could otherwise enter connected appliances or equipment. The increased filter capacity can allow longer intervals between cleaning, helping to reduce maintenance requirements and minimise the likelihood of the filter becoming clogged.

Robust Operating Range

The Ideal Filter Ball Valve is designed to operate across a broad range of temperatures and pressures. It has a maximum pressure rating of 30 bar and a maximum temperature rating of 140°C. Its specified working temperature range is from -20°C to 100°C, providing flexibility for a variety of suitable heating and water system applications.
