STOUT Ball Valve with Union 3/4", Butterfly Handle, Nickel-Plated Brass, Female x Male Thread, Art. SVB-0007-000020

Yes. STOUT's passport lists the SVB-0007 type among its full-bore ball valves, which means the passage through the open ball is not narrowed. For the DN 20 size, to which this 3/4" valve belongs, the passport table gives a Kvs of 45 m³/h.

For DN 20, the size of this 3/4" valve, STOUT gives 50 bar as the highest working pressure, and the temperature of the medium may lie between −20 and +150 °C. The medium itself must be water or a water-glycol solution, so check that your system meets all three conditions.

Hot water, yes: STOUT's passport counts hot water supply and heating among the main applications, and the valve takes media up to +150 °C. For gas the passport gives no approval, and its technical data allow only water and water-glycol solutions, so do not install it on gas lines.

Do not use a lever-type pipe wrench on the valve: STOUT's passport strictly forbids it, both during installation and in operation. In service, keep the butterfly handle fully open or fully closed, because the passport does not allow a ball valve to be used for regulating flow.
