As part of the VB Series, it uses PTFE (Teflon) seats energized by elastomer backing rings for stable, low-torque operation, with O-rings and seals available in EPDM, Viton, or Kal-Rez; the valve body is fabricated from PVC (Type I, Class 12454B) or CPVC variants depending on model, with NSF-listed materials suitable for potable-water conveyance. End connections include socket (ASTM D-2467) and threaded (ASTM D-2464) configurations, with ANSI 150 flanged options available, and the design is built for serviceability, including replaceable components and a blowout-proof stem. Pressure ratings vary by size (232 psi \/ 16 bar for the ½”–2” range, and 150 psi \/ 10 bar for 2½”–4”) at 68°F, reflecting the VB Series’ performance envelope, and the product line carries ISO 9002 certification, underscoring SIMTECH’s quality controls. Typical applications include potable water distribution, chemical handling, and general industrial piping where reliable shutoff with easy maintenance is required. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SIMTECH","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46267968979178,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8039\/3450\/files\/GTG-STOCK-016.png?v=1788727429","url":"https:\/\/gtghardware.com\/products\/simtech-vbxc204-vb-series-true-union-ball-valve","provider":"GTG Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
