Series IBV Instrument Ball Valve

Brand: Generant Inc

Series IBV Instrument Ball Valves offer reliable 1/4-turn ON/OFF flow control for pressures up to psig: 6,000 (kPa: 41,300, bar: 413). 

These valves feature a Micro-Finished Floating Ball design to provide a positive seal in both directions. Series IBV Instrument Ball Valves also feature a “straight-through” flow path to ensure high flows with minimum pressure drop. 

The valves are designed to operate with a low operation torque while providing a long service life. All valve configurations can be panel mounted.
