Kromschroder Ball valve, manual, flanged AKT40F160G 03152346

This is a manual ball valve with flanged connections and a nominal diameter of 40 mm. It features a full bore design, ensuring unrestricted flow when open. The maximum operating pressure is 16 mbar. It is operated by hand and used to shut off or isolate flow in a pipeline.

Parts of this type are selected by matching the connection size and thread standard (typically Rp or R threads) and the maximum working pressure rating. The valve body material and sealing design must be compatible with the gas type (natural gas, LPG, or biogas) and the operating environment. Before ordering, verify that the connection size and thread type match the existing pipework, and that the valve rating meets or exceeds the system's maximum gas pressure. Also ensure the body orientation and handle position allow convenient manual access.

Items of this kind may develop wear in the manual operating mechanism and the valve seat seal over time. The valve can become hard to operate or fail to shut off completely. Routine inspection should check the handle mechanism and the condition of the seat seal.
