Water treatment facilities, municipalities, and potable water production plants across the globe are implementing remediation strategies to reduce or remove PFAS contaminants from their systems as the substances’ long-term health effects become more apparent.
To support these growing efforts, Hayward Flow Control announces new thermoplastic ball valve seats for their TBH Series True Union Industrial Ball Valves for PFAS Remediation. A first in the larger thermoplastic ball valve industry, the new valve seats use a polyethylene material known as UHMWHDPE.
Utilized for many years as an alternative to PTFE, UHMWHDPE offers increased toughness, impact, and crack resistance, excellent abrasion resistance, and optimal chemical resistance, all of which are ideal for use in valve seats.
Hayward’s ball valve seats for PFAS remediation do not use PTFE or related lubricants in the assembly process. The UHMWHDPE seats are also non-toxic, non-leaching, and recyclable. They support the full pressure ratings of the TBH Series True Union Ball Valves and are available in sizes ¼” through 2” / DN15 – DN50 with PVC and CPVC construction.
