FIP has developed a VKD DUAL BLOCK® ball valve to introduce a high reference standard in thermosplastic valve design. VKD is a True Union ball valve that meets the most stringent needs required by industrial applications.
In addition to the manually actuated version, VKD is also available in VKD/CE electrically actuated and VKD/CP pneumatically actuated configurations. Actuators are firmly connected to the valve by the special FIP PowerQuick modules fully made of PP-GR technopolymer. VKD/CE and VKD/CP are constructed with actuators meeting current regulations and selected by FIP according to their quality and reliability requirements. The efficiency of these valves, tested according to the company’s quality standards, is guaranteed by the expertise and know-how that FIP dedicates to manufacturing its products.
Main features:
Electric actuator constructed according to FIP specifications; with plastic shell and standard emergency override. Available with voltages from 12 to 240V
Rack & pinion type pneumatic actuator constructed according to FIP specifications: fully protected against weather corrosion available in double-acting (DA) or simple-acting normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) versions
DUAL BLOCK® patented lock system that ensures union nut tightening hold even in severe conditions such as vibrations or heat dilation
Double stem with double O-Rings for ball centring and operating torque reduction. The upper stem is also equipped with a co-moulded steel insert that guarantees high durability and perfect torque transmission between the actuator and ball
