Bonomi North America, which has served the US and Canada since 2003 and is part of the Bonomi Group of Brescia, Italy, is introducing a new line of automated thermoplastic ball valves for use in mechanical, chemical, plumbing and other applications. Listed with NSF to Standard 61 for potable water, the new valve packages offer a variety of advanced features that aim to improve operation and enhance reliability.
The new plastic packages include the two-way BV2 Series and the three-way BV3 Series. They are operated by factory-installed electric or pneumatic actuators, with two-way full-port valves in sizes ½” to 4” or three-way valves in sizes ½” to 2”. Pneumatic rack-and-pinion actuators for the new automated packages feature anodized aluminum bodies. They are designed for 80 PSI control air pressure and are operable using air, water, nitrogen or other compatible hydraulic fluids from 40 to 120 PSI.
