Ball Valves in Bhopal

Ball valves open or shut a line with a quarter turn of a drilled ball, which makes them quick to operate on small bore water lines such as drain, test and gauge connections in pump rooms and sprinkler installations. Fire Protection System supplies brass, bronze, gunmetal, cast iron, stainless steel and cast steel ball valves from Sant Valves, Kartar Valves and Zoloto in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

How to choose

Start with the body material. Forged brass, bronze and gunmetal valves suit small bore water lines: Kartar Valves offers forged brass (K916, K611, K611E) and gunmetal (K609) valves, Sant Valves forged brass FBV valves and the gun metal IS-20 for water and oil, and Zoloto bronze (1008, 1008A) and chrome finished forged brass (1008B) valves listed for plumbing and fire fighting. Cast iron valves follow IS 9890: the Sant Valves CI-17 and CI-18 are ISI marked to IS 9890 Class 125 and listed for water, oil and gas, the red Kartar Valves K-938 for fire lines is ISI marked to IS 9890, and the Kartar Valves K801 and K802 are made to IS 9890 in PN 16. Stainless steel valves in CF8 (SS 304) or CF8M (SS 316) from all three makers are chosen where corrosion resistance matters, and the Sant Valves WCB cast steel valve is rated 69 barg at 30°C and 5 bar at 225°C.

Next check size and pressure, choosing a rating that covers the highest pressure in that line. Sizes run from 8 mm (Sant Valves FBV2 and IS-20, Zoloto 1008B) or 10 mm (Kartar Valves forged brass) up to 100 mm. Kartar Valves rates its forged brass valves PN 40 and the gunmetal K609 PN1.6, rates the stainless steel K804 WOG 1000 and the K804.E PN 40, and states its cast iron K801 and K802 can be installed at up to 35 bar. Sant Valves rates its forged brass FBV valves PN-25 and the stainless steel IC-1 PN-40, and the Zoloto stainless steel valves are Class 150, designed to BS EN ISO 17292.

Then match the ends and bore. Screwed valves come with threads to IS 554, BS 21 or ISO 7 or BSP taper, with NPT on request from Kartar Valves, and the Zoloto 1080A and 1081 can also have socket weld ends. Flanged options include the Kartar Valves K802 with flange dimensions to ANSI B16.1, the Sant Valves CI-18 (IS 3516 or B.S.10 Table F) and SSBVF (Class-150), and the Zoloto 1080B and 1081A drilled to ASME B16.5 Class 150. Full bore valves, such as the Kartar Valves K916 and K609, the Sant Valves FBV2, FBV3 and SSBVS and the Zoloto 1008, 1008A and 1008B, keep the full pipe opening, while reduced bore valves such as the Zoloto 1080A and 1081 have a smaller port. Three piece bodies, such as the Kartar Valves K802, the Sant Valves SSBVF and WCB and the Zoloto stainless steel valves, let the centre section be taken out for service.

For special duties, Sant Valves offers the FBV4 forged brass valve and the BBVSF brass valve with a built in strainer, so one fitting isolates the line and catches debris, and the FBV3 with a T handle. Sant Valves (BBVF, BBVSF) and Zoloto (1085B) also offer ball valves with a flare nut on one end, which Zoloto lists for refrigeration and HVAC connections. FPS supplies, installs and maintains ball valves on fire and water lines across Madhya Pradesh.

Frequently asked questions

Where are ball valves used in a fire protection system?
Ball valves are mostly used on small bore water lines, such as drain and test points, gauge connections and pump room auxiliaries, where a quick quarter turn to open or shut is useful. Larger mains are usually isolated with gate, sluice or butterfly valves.
Should I choose a full bore or reduced bore ball valve?
A full bore valve has a port the same size as the pipe, so it keeps the full opening when open; the Sant Valves FBV2 and SSBVS, the Zoloto 1008 series and the Kartar Valves K916 and K609 are full bore. Reduced bore valves have a smaller port, as on the Zoloto 1080A and 1081, and Kartar Valves offers its K801 in both full and reduced bore.
What does IS 9890 mean on a ball valve?
It is the Indian standard that the cast iron ball valves in this range are made to. The Sant Valves CI-17 and CI-18 are made to IS 9890 Class 125 and ISI marked, the red Kartar Valves K-938 is ISI marked to IS 9890, and the Kartar Valves K801 and K802 are made to IS 9890 in PN 16.
Which ball valve material should I choose?
Brass, bronze and gunmetal valves from all three makers suit small bore water lines, cast iron valves to IS 9890 suit larger screwed or flanged lines, and stainless steel valves in SS 304 or SS 316 are chosen where corrosion resistance matters. FPS can advise on the right material for your line.
Is there a ball valve with a built in strainer?
Yes. The Sant Valves FBV4 forged brass ball valve, rated PN-25 from 15 mm to 40 mm, and the BBVSF brass ball valve have a built in strainer, so one fitting isolates the line and catches debris.
Does FPS supply ball valves, and how do I get a price?
FPS is an authorised distributor of Sant Valves and Kartar Valves and a dealer for Zoloto, and it supplies, installs and maintains ball valves in Bhopal and across MP. Prices depend on material, size and quantity and are shared on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
