BVC3, BVC4 SERIES
Holmbury’s BVC3 and BVC4 Series high-pressure ball valves
are designed to suit a wide range of applications. These
valves should not be used as flow control valves and should
therefore always be fully open or closed.
FEATURES
• Floating ball design maximises sealing
• Full bore valves provide unrestricted flow path
for negligible pressure drop
• Open to close in 1/4 turn
• Offset handle allows clearance for easy operation
CONSTRUCTION
• Carbon steel body with trivalent plating
• Zinc alloy handle
• Forged steel option available
• Fitted with NBR and POM seals as standard
• Also available in AISI 316 stainless steel
(See BVS3, BVS4 Series)
ACCESSORIES
• Valve locking kits and valve handles are available for
the BVC3, BVC4 Series
APPLICATIONS
• Construction
• Mobile Hydraulics
• Test Equipment
• Machine Tools
• General Hydraulics
• Agricultural
