TruDesign Composite Ball Valve

Product Description

TruDesign Ball Valves Composite Ball Valves

Fully approved and manufactured in New Zealand for use in marine applications above and below the water line.

The bodies of these valves are moulded in a glass reinforced nylon composite material providing high impact and tensile strength, resulting in a light weight unit, free from corrosion and electrolysis. The internal workings are moulded in a Teflon enhanced polymer for a smooth action, also ensuring continuous ease of operation over many years. The Ball Valve can be locked in the closed position for use on toilet waste outlets.
