TRUDESIGN
Monitored Ball Valves

Designed and made in New Zealand TRUDESIGN™ Certified Ball Valves are specifically designed for use in marine applications above and below the water line.  
The body of the Ball Valve is manufactured in glass-reinforced nylon composite with high impact and tensile strength resulting in a lightweight unit, free from corrosion and electrolysis issues. The ball and sealing rings utilise a PTFE polymer to ensure a smooth action, and continuous ease of operation over many years.

The Ball Valve is available in both BSP and NPS parallel thread forms and can be locked in the closed position for use on toilet waste outlets. 

Position monitoring allows remote monitoring of ball valve position. The position monitoring circuit can also be used as part of an engine or generator start interlock to ensure these don’t start without cooling water available. Monitoring of multiple ball valve positions can be done through a Panel Display available separately.
