Product specification

Light type, produced by the injection-moulding process.

Ball with stem is both centered and sealed by sealing sleeves, thus ensuring optimal sealing of the ball to the connections and preventing an undesired leakage of the medium.

Highest media resistance is guaranteed by housing made of PP, PVDF or PFA as well as by sealing sleeves made of PTFE.

Technical specification

Material:

Housing: PP (polypropylene), PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) or PFA (perfluoroalkoxy)

Sealing sleeves: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)

O-ring: FPM (fluorinated rubber)

Vacuum resistance: up to 10^-8 mbar

General Information

THOMAFLUID^®-ball cocks (ball with through bore) with rotary handle are available in numerous variations.

Two types are available: the block construction EMP-A6 (parts 28880) on the one hand, and the compact cocks EMP-L6 on the other hand (parts 304871).

The type EMP-L6 is produced cost-effectively by injection moulding, providing a remarkable manageability and compactness of the cock body.

The block construction EMP-A6 is produced in the metal-cutting manufacturing process. The cocks are excellently suitable for direct wall mounting due to their rectangular construction. The product range varies from two-way cocks with through bore to five-way cocks with ball angled bore.

The ball cocks are designed for max. 10 bar (at +20 °C).

Safe and reliable isolation, mixture as well as distribution of gases and liquids

High flow rates even at heavily contaminated media

Ball and stem are manufactured in one piece

Sealing sleeves made of PTFE with highest resistance to chemically aggressive media

Securing of the sealing sleeves by O-rings made of FPM

Sealing of the ball upward by stem sealing using an O-ring

FPM (Fluorinated rubber)

FPM is a polymer of highest quality made of fluorinated hydrocarbons (fluorine content 64 % to 70 %) and belongs to the group of elastomers

FPM has the best resistance to swelling in mineral oils compared to all elastomers
