1. Product Overview: GF ½" DN15 Ball Valve
The GF ½" DN15 Ball Valve is a compact, high-performance valve designed for precise flow control of liquids and gases in industrial automation systems. Part of Georg Fischer’s (GF) piping solutions, this valve features a durable PVC-U or stainless steel body, ensuring resistance to corrosion, high pressures, and aggressive chemicals. With a ½" nominal diameter (DN15), it is engineered for seamless integration into small-bore piping networks, offering reliable shut-off and regulation in HVAC, water treatment, and chemical processing applications. The quarter-turn handle design enables quick operation, while the full-bore construction minimizes pressure drop. Rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, it operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C (PVC-U) or -20°C to +150°C (stainless steel), making it suitable for diverse industrial environments.
2. Key Technical Specifications
3. Industrial Applications and Use Cases
The GF DN15 Ball Valve is widely used in water treatment plants for isolating pumps, filters, and dosing systems. In chemical processing, it regulates corrosive fluids like acids and solvents in laboratory or production lines. HVAC systems deploy it to control coolant flow in chillers and heat exchangers, while food and beverage facilities utilize its hygienic stainless steel variant for CIP (Clean-in-Place) processes. Oil and gas applications leverage its high-pressure resilience for instrumentation lines, and semiconductor manufacturers rely on its purity for ultrapure water distribution. Its compact size also makes it ideal for tight spaces in modular skids or mobile equipment.
4. Competitive Advantages and Unique Features
5. Functional Capabilities and Operational Benefits
The GF DN15 Ball Valve provides reliable on/off control or flow modulation, enhancing process efficiency and safety. Its leak-tight design ensures zero fluid loss, critical for hazardous or high-purity applications. The standardized ISO 5211 mounting pad allows integration with pneumatic or electric actuators for automated systems. Compliance with WRAS and CE standards guarantees safe use in potable water and regulated industries. By minimizing downtime and maintenance, this valve reduces total cost of ownership while supporting sustainable operations through durable, recyclable materials.
