Weld ends on 100X/S and 104 – a fully welded connection is a precondition for buried installation.
For gas and hydrogen Vexve offers dedicated series; the steel ball valves listed here are designed for heating water.
Operating range −20 °C to +200 °C at leakage rate A, ball in 1.4301 with PTFE+C seal.
From the threaded valve 101 in DN 10 to the flanged and welded versions in DN 500.
Threaded and welded series in PN 40, the flanged series 103 in PN 10, 16, 25 and 40.
Operating range of all series; the lowest permissible ambient temperature is -40 °C.
All four series are tested to leakage rate A – the tightest value the standard defines.
Ball seal in PTFE+C, stem in 1.4305, stem seal FPM – identical across all nominal sizes.
The series 100 to 104 are designed for water and heating water – please enquire for steam.
We trade in Vexve ball valves and supply from the manufacturer range. The four series described below are the ones we supply most often – we can source the complete Vexve range, including the series for gas and hydrogen applications that are not listed here.
| Series | Connection | Nominal size | Pressure rating | Operation |
| 100X/S (X series, heavy-duty version) | weld end / weld end | DN 20 to DN 50 | PN 40 | composite handle |
| 101 | female thread / weld end | DN 10 to DN 50 | PN 40 | galvanised steel handle |
| 103/25 | flange / flange to EN 1092-1 | DN 65 to DN 500 | PN 25, also available in PN 10, 16 and 40 | handle, from DN 300 manual gearbox, electric or hydraulic |
| 104 | weld end / weld end | DN 100 to DN 500 | PN 25 | manual gearbox |
All four series are technically identical in construction; they differ in the connection type, and that follows the installation situation:
All the series named have a reduced bore: the ball bore is smaller than the nominal size – on the type 101 in DN 50 about 40 mm. This reduces weight, space requirement and price and is uncritical in district heating networks, because these are dimensioned with reserve anyway. It does need checking where the pressure loss has been calculated tightly – in that case a full-bore version is the right choice.
The series 100 to 104 are not approved for steam. They are designed for water and heating water, with an operating range from −20 °C to +200 °C; the lowest permissible ambient temperature is −40 °C. For steam applications Vexve offers other series – talk to us about it before you size the system.
With Vexve we mostly supply the series version without intervention. Additionally feasible with Vexve:
District heating, district cooling, energy infrastructure, petrochemicals, hydrogen transportation.
Yes, Vexve offers specially developed fittings for underground district heating and cooling networks.
In Finland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark and China.
