Laboratory Ball Valves
Ten years ago, WaterSaver introduced the first ball valve
designed specifically for use in scientific laboratories. The L4200
valve was intended as an alternative to the traditional ground key
cock valve. Like the ground key cock valve (such as the L2900
and L2960), the laboratory ball valve is a quarter turn valve for
on/off control of laboratory gases. The quarter turn actuation provides a visual indication of whether the valve is in the open or
closed position.
However, the laboratory ball valve offers significant advantages
over a ground key cock, including higher pressure ratings, longer
service life and certification for natural gas service. In addition,
the ball valve can be used for a wide array of laboratory gases,
including special gases such as nitrogen, helium and oxygen.
The ground key cock valve can only be used for natural gas, air
and vacuum.
WaterSaver is committed to the continuous improvement of our
product line. As the latest expression of this commitment, we
have completely redesigned our laboratory ball valve. The
redesigned valve offers all of the advantages of the older valve,
plus a higher flow capacity and more attractive styling.
Product Features
As before, the valve incorporates a chrome
plated brass ball and molded Teflon seals.
Lever handle is available in black nylon (standard),
color-coded nylon or forged brass. The handle
requires less than 5 foot-pounds to actuate, making
the valve ideal for ADA applications.
Valve is certified for use with natural gas
by the Canadian Standards Association
under ANSI Z21.15-1997/CGA9.1-M97.
Valve body has been changed from bar stock to a
brass forging for sleeker, more attractive styling.
Condensed Specifications
To specify the new laboratory ball valve by construction, please use the
following language:
Laboratory ball valves shall have a forged brass valve body, a removable
ten serration hose end and a [black nylon] [color-coded nylon] [forged
brass]* lever-type handle with a full view color-coded index disc. Valves
shall have a floating chrome plated brass ball and molded TFE seals.
Valves shall be certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
for use with natural gas under ANSI Z21.15. Where used for high purity
gases, valves shall be specially cleaned, lubricated and packed. Valves
shall be individually tested at 125 PSI air pressure and shall be rated for
use at working pressures up to 75 PSI air.
*Select desired alternative.
Effective Date
The new, improved laboratory ball valves began shipping on May 1, 2003.
This change does not require any change in hole sizes or spacing on
countertops. However, please note the minor changes in dimensions of
the L4285B remote control ball valve.
