Name
Ball valve - VEE Easyfit
Technical purpose of product or process FIP and Giugiaro Design have designed and developed VEE Easyfit, the innovative true union installation ball valve which introduces an advanced method of installation for a long trouble free service. VEE Easyfit is made of PVC-U, EPDM (for gaskets) and PE (for ball seats). • Size range from DN 10 up to DN 50 • Jointing by solvent welding or threaded connections • Maximum working pressure:16 bar at 20° C • New patended Easyfit system: based on the principle of the bevel gear pair has been applied to design the mechanism that controls the rotation of the union nuts during the valve installation. The use of the Easyfit multifunctional handle is the best solution to carry out maintenence operations in narrow spaces with limited access to the valve location. • Easy removal of the valve body from the system, allowing quick replacement of O-rings and ball seats without additional equipment • Compact design with true union installation “short dimensions. Fully interchangeable with the previous FIP ball valves VE series • In the closed position the pipeline can be disconnected downstream from the valve without leakage • Safe locked carrier with adjustment of ball seal • Block with adjustment of ball seal • Easyfit hergonomic multifunctional handle with union nut rotation control and ball seat carrier adjustment wrench • FIP U-PVC is suitable for conveying foodstuffs and drinking water and meets the necessary standards and regulations

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
