[STD] & [IND] Series new ball valves: revolutionary design and unrivaled performance

Cepex is launching two completely new series of ball valves: [STD] Series, targeting water and irrigation markets, and [IND] Series, which have been developed to offer fluid control solutions to the industrial and water treatment markets.

[STD] Series
• The new ball valve design is the result of Cepex’s 30 years of experience and know-how in thermoplastic piping systems.
• Developed with the following principles in mind: highest quality, long term reliability, safety in operation, ergonomy & environment-friendly.
• Completely made in plastic: body, ball, shaft and connectors in PVC-U.
• Ergonomic handle with rubber anti-slide surface.
• Threaded seal-carrier and handle built-in tool for torque adjustment.

[IND] Series
• The new [IND] Series are available in several thermoplastic materials in order to offer the right valve for every application: PVC-U, PVC-C, PP-H, PVDF and ABS.
• Ergonomic operator-friendly handle made of high resistance PP & soft rubber anti-slide surface for better grip and safer operation.
• Features a built in locking device, which prevents the system from unauthorized operations.
• Integrated fastening system.
• Handle built-in tool for easy adjustment of the threaded seal carrier (ball torque).
• Electric or pneumatic actuators are easily set up thanks to a new high resistance mounting clamp.

Butterfly valve 12"

Following its efforts to expand the product ranges to try to arrive to as many markets as possible, Cepex has developed the new butterfly valve D315 - DN300 - 12".

• Made of thermoplastic material, heavy duty construction and corrosion free. High impact & UV stabilized, stands up to the most demanding applications.
• Working pressure: 150 p.s.i.
• Light, easy to install and offering reduced handling, labor, freight and installation costs.
• One piece body, ensures a long life without filtration problems. PP-GR body, excellent mechanical and environmental strenght.
• New disc design ensuring low torque and low pressure loss. Available in PVC-U (PVC-C, PP-H, PVDF or ABS available upon request), high abrasion resistant.
• Full body liner seal, low torque thanks to special antifriction rings. Material: EPDM or FPM.
• Stainless steel stem for top performance (without fluid contact).
• Available with gear box, electric or pneumatic actuation.

Performance™ Series PP Compression Fittings:
new look & more features

Cepex introduces their improved range of PP compression fittings for PE pressure piping applications. The complete range, from 16 to 110 mm (16-63 PN 16 / 75-110 PN 10), is available in the following configurations: tees, tees with male or female threaded connections, reducing tees, elbows, elbows with male or female threaded connections, couplings, reducing couplings, male/female adaptors, and plugs.

As with all Cepex products, Performance™ Series PP Compression Fittings have been tested and approved by the world's premier certification institutes. They are the only PP compression fittings certified by TÜV Product Service.

The most significant improvements applied to the product family are as follows:

• Superior Reliability. The O-ring seat has been tilted 20º. This allows the O-ring to press directly against the pipe when the fitting is tightened for a more watertight seal.

• Ease of Installation. Interior guides have been included to prevent the pipe from turning during assembly. In addition, the split ring opening has been optimized to make pipe insertion even easier, enabling quick insertion without the need to disassemble the nut from the fitting.

• Additional Standards. The products are also available in ASTM/NPT standards and are NSF-certified for drinking water distribution.

• New Look. A polished modern design is the result of both improved internal components and a new external appearance for the fittings, which are readily recognized by their blue connectors.

Universal Transition Fitting

Cepex launches its new Universal Transition Fittings which provide the ability to connect from metric polyethylene pipe to any other recognized pipe material, both metal (copper, lead, galvanized steel) and plastic (PVC, imperial PE, PP). These fittings are a new addition to the Performance™ Series family of PP compression fittings.

• Fast and Easy Connections. Connect by simply inserting the pipe and then tightening the nut. No special tool is required for assembly and there is no need to disassemble the fitting prior to installation (the O-ring is seated only when the nut is tightened, allowing clearance for the pipe to be easily inserted).

• Flexibility. Designed to cover a wide range of pipe sizes (one fitting covers 6 mm in pipe diameters), which reduces cost and stock levels.

• Reliability. The higher the internal pressure, the tighter the split ring seals the connection, increasing the fitting's dependability. Top quality raw materials provide high impact and corrosion resistance.

• Versions. Universal x PE metric and Universal x Universal. A kit is also available which converts any PE metric inlet into a Universal inlet, enabling compatibility with any Cepex Performance™ Series product: elbows, tees, etc.

• Sizes. Currently available for any size between 15 and 21 mm for the Universal inlet (20, 25, and 32 mm for the PE inlet). 21-27 mm and 27-35 mm sizes will be available soon.

• Pressure Rating. PN 10 at 20ºC.

Ball Check Valves Range
available in PVC & Corzan® CPVC

Cepex announces a new range of PVC Ball and Foot valves. They can be supplied with O-rings in EPDM or Viton®. They are available in sizes from D20 to D110 (½” - 4”) in solvent socket & threaded versions. Working pressure is PN 16 bar (240 p.s.i.) up to 2” and PN 10 bar (150 p.s.i.) for the rest of sizes.

The main advantes of this new range are:

• No metallic components, which makes it suitable for any industrial applications.

• The body has full length guides for maximum flow and allows minimum pressure drop.

• Ball check avoids possible obstructions to flow of dirt or particulate.

• Ball valve closes by gravity of the ball under it’s own weight, and can be installed either in vertical or horizontal position, as long as minimal pressure is 2 metres of water (3 p.s.i.).

• Fully serviceable thanks to its true union design.

100% factory tested, valves are available in DIN/Metric, US Standard and British Standard. Threaded versions can be either BSP or NPT.
