PLUNGER VALVE

Plunger valves are often

used for flow control
and pressure reducing
applications.

Occupational
Health And Safety
Management

AVK series 870 is a plunger

valve which in some areas is
referred to as needle valve
in the industry for inline
applications of regulation.

Unlike butterfly or gate valves assuming only fully open

or shut off functions, plunger valves are designed to
regulate and control flow and pressure in water supply
systems. The design holds a single-piece body of fusion
bonded epoxy coated ductile iron (above DN150) or
stainless steel (up to DN150).

All internal components are made in either stainless

steel or bronze; materials that guarantee good anti-
corrosion properties and a long life time.

Available in pressure ratings up to 25 Bar, flanged to

suit EN 1092-2 PN10/16/25 and sizes DN80-600,
Tested acc. to EN1074-1&5 / EN12266. Designed acc.
to EN1074-1&5 / EN1349. Face-to-face acc. to EN558
Table 2 Basic Series 15. The valve is equipped with an
ISO actuator flange to which can be fitted an electrical
actuator or a gearbox with a handwheel. We offer
sizing, engineering and technical expertise from supply
of the correct plunger valve to the on-site installation.

 DESIGN FEATURES AND
BENEFITS

• One-piece body construction • DN80-150 have uncoated stainless steel bodies

• Low operating torque due to pressure equilibrium • DN200-600 are coated with blue RAL 5017 fusion
between internal chamber and piston bonded epoxy in a GSK approved process according to
• Angular shaft rotation from fully open to close →90 DIN3476
degrees • “T” shape main seal located in safety flow area ensuring
• Low head loss coefficient in fully open position due to minimal wear and long life time
optimized internal body • Double O-ring sealed drive shaft
• 4 bronze guide rails keep vibration at a minimum and • All other shafts and bearings protected against corrosion
ensure accurate alignment throughout the full valve with O-ring seals
stroke. • All internal parts in stainless steel or bronze
• Guide rails, downstream retaining ring and upstream
cover are all installed with bolts to make for easy
dismantling for maintenance

 ESSENTIAL INSTALLATION
INFORMATION

Take into consideration during the design phase,

where the valve will be installed to ensure access for
operation, adjustment, maintenance and repair.

The valve shall be installed in piping systems designed

with compensators according to standard practice and
norms designed to absorb axial movements due to
temperature expansion or contraction.

A heavy valve may need independent support or

anchorage.

If the valve is installed in rock or sharp-edged stone,

there shall be a bed of earth, sand or other suitable
material with a minimum depth of 150 mm beneath
the valve. Fine-grade (< 5 mm) material free from
sharp-edged stones shall be filled and compacted
carefully around the side of the valve and to a
minimum consolidated height of 150 mm above the
valve.

Preferred installation position:

To ensure proper function and long service life of the
valve, do not install closer than 5 times pipe diameters
downstream of tees or elbows or other irregularities as
this can cause violent turbulence and cavitation inside
the valve that reduces its.
