2-Way Motorized Ball Valves provide electrically actuated shutoff for water, compressed air, and compatible process media in systems where quarter-turn ball valve operation is preferred over solenoid-only valve designs. The BV Series combines a brass full-port valve body with electric motorized actuation for on-off control in utility, OEM, and process applications.
This series comes in 1/2 inch to 1-inch female NPT sizes and supports either XR22 or XR33 actuators. It supports 0 to 185 psi operation and fits continuous duty applications because the actuator draws power during actuation only.
