George Fischer is proud to announce the immediate availability of our new ball valve. The H2O Valve is a true union ball valve designed exclusively for on/off water service. This design approach allows us to provide the most cost effective solution for on/off water service, passing along the savings to you.

"Since this valve was designed and manufactured to perform specifically for water, it offers outstanding value in terms of both quality and price. It's extremely price competitive in highly competitive markets such as the swimming pool industry, while offering the robust qualities of a typical GF branded ball valve for water/waste water applications," said Tom Carlson, George Fischer Product Manager.

The H2O valve incorporates a safeblock ball seat and blow-out proof stem with double stem seals for complete operator protection and safety. The valve handle, which doubles as a spanner wrench, can be used to adjust or remove the seat carrier, providing easy disassembly and convenience. And its high impact handle construction provides durable, reliable service under rugged conditions. Stem "flat" indicators allow the operator to determine valve position with a quick glance.

Performance characteristics include 225 psi pressure rating (socket ends), and 150 psi pressure rating (threaded ends. A 10,000+ cycle life ensures high reliability for long service life. The new valve meets 12454-B per ASTM D 1784 standards and comes equipped with threaded and socket end connectors for sizes 3/8 - 2 inches, and socket end connectors for 2-1/2-4-inch sizes.

Available from 3/8" size through 4", this full port valve is NSF approved and offers a unique, ergonomic blue handle design that is also the tool used to adjust or remove the safeblock ball seat design. This valve is available exclusively in a PVC body and EPDM seals.
