Description
The Akron Brass Field Service Kit with Plastic Ball for Style 7815, 7615 Valve is a maintenance and repair kit designed specifically for servicing and maintaining the Akron Brass Style 7815 and 7615 valves used in firefighting and industrial applications. This kit ensures the proper functioning and longevity of the valve assembly, which is crucial for reliable performance in emergency situations.
The field service kit includes a plastic ball, which serves as the main component in the ball valve mechanism. Plastic balls are typically made from durable, high-performance polymers that offer good corrosion resistance and can be more cost-effective than metal alternatives. However, plastic balls might not be as durable or have the same temperature resistance as stainless steel balls, so it is essential to consider the specific application and environment when choosing the material.
The ball valve operates by utilizing a ball with a hole through it. When the hole is aligned with the flow of fluid, it allows fluid to pass through, and when the ball is rotated, it blocks the flow. Ball valves are known for their quick and reliable opening and closing, requiring minimal effort, which makes them suitable for emergency situations.
The Style 7815 and 7615 valves are designed for specific firefighting and industrial applications, and the field service kit is intended to be compatible with these valve models. It is essential to use the appropriate kit for the valve to ensure proper maintenance and repair.
Kit includes seats, o-rings and a plastic ball.
