Product Overview

Socket Ball Valves: Compact Quarter-Turn Shut-Off with Threaded Connections

A socket ball valve isolates or regulates flow by rotating a bored ball through 90 degrees. The female thread screws the valve directly into the pipeline or fitting, so no flanges, gaskets or through-bolts are needed. This keeps the assembly compact and lightweight. Consequently the threaded design is the standard choice for small to medium nominal sizes.

Fergo supplies socket ball valves in the KH100 and KH104 brass series, the KH109, KH113 and KH154 stainless steel series, and the WRAS-approved KH105 for drinking water. Three-way versions are available as the KL103 in stainless steel and the KL113 in brass. Nominal sizes range from DN8 to DN100, and pressure ratings span PN14 to PN63. Thread connections follow ISO 228-1 (BSP parallel), ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1 (BSP tapered) and ASME B1.20.1 (NPT). Actuator mounting flanges comply with ISO 5211.

Socket ball valves serve building services, HVAC circuits, water treatment, chemical dosing, compressed air, food production, pharmaceutical plants and instrumentation lines. Operators choose between a hand lever, a pneumatic actuator or a J4C electric actuator. Where higher pressures or larger bores require a bolted connection, the flanged ball valve range takes over.

Subcategories

01 Socket Ball Valves by Material and Design

2-Way Brass Socket Ball Valves (KH100, KH104, KH105)

The brass socket ball valves cover the widest size range from ¼ inch to 4 inch. The KH100 uses a nickel-plated body with a Viton shaft seal and reaches PN50 at smaller bores. The KH104 features a shot-peened and chrome-plated body with an NBR shaft seal and a consistent PN40 rating. The KH105 additionally holds WRAS drinking water approval and can be paired with the J4C electric actuator. All three series connect through a BSP parallel female thread to ISO 228-1.

2-Way Stainless Steel Socket Ball Valves (KH109, KH113, KH154)

The stainless steel socket ball valves handle corrosive media and elevated temperatures. The KH109 offers a two-piece body with a tapered thread to ISO 7-1 or NPT to ASME B1.20.1 and reaches PN63. The KH113 adds a blow-out-proof shaft in the same two-piece design. The KH154 is a three-piece construction with a TFM1600 seat, certified to TA-Luft, ATEX and AD2000-A4. Body and ball are stainless steel 1.4408 / CF8M throughout.

3-Way Socket Ball Valves (KL103, KL113)

The 3-way socket ball valves divert, mix or switch media streams between three ports. The KL103 is built from stainless steel 1.4408, whereas the KL113 uses brass. An L-bore directs flow between two selected paths, while a T-bore additionally opens a through position for mixing. Both series suit bypass circuits, sampling points and changeover manifolds. Available with hand lever, pneumatic or electric actuation.

Materials in Detail: Specifying the Right Socket Ball Valve

Body Materials

1. Brass CW617N, Nickel-Plated (KH100)

Application: water, compressed air, neutral gases, heating and cooling circuits, building services, general utility pipework

Temperature: air −20 °C to +150 °C · water 0 °C to +150 °C · gas −20 °C to +60 °C (not suitable for steam)

Advantages: nickel layer provides good surface corrosion protection, economical across all sizes, available from ¼ inch to 4 inch

Limitations: unsuitable for ammonia, aggressive chemicals, strongly chloride-rich water and steam

2. Brass CW617N, Shot-Peened & Chrome-Plated (KH104)

Application: compressed air, water, glycol circuits, non-aggressive gases and liquids, HVAC, laboratory lines

Temperature: up to +90 °C · PN40

Advantages: chrome plating gives a harder and more abrasion-resistant surface than nickel, consistent PN40 across the full size range

Limitations: lower temperature limit than the nickel-plated variant; not for corrosive or high-purity media

3. Stainless Steel 1.4408 / CF8M (AISI 316) — KH109, KH113, KH154

Application: chemical and pharmaceutical processing, food and beverage plants, seawater, chlorinated water, steam, acids and alkalis

Temperature: −25 °C to +180 °C · PN63

Advantages: high corrosion resistance through molybdenum, hygienic surface, suitable for CIP and SIP processes, long service life

Limitations: higher material cost than brass; not resistant to hydrofluoric acid

4. Brass CW617N with WRAS Approval (KH105)

Application: potable water supply in the United Kingdom, drinking water installations, plumbing systems requiring WRAS certification

Temperature: up to +90 °C

Advantages: WRAS-approved for UK drinking water, can be fitted with a J4C electric actuator for automated potable water control

Limitations: approved for water only; not intended for chemical, gas or high-temperature service

Ball and Seat Materials

Application: standard ball across all brass body series for water, air, neutral gases and non-aggressive liquids

Temperature: up to +150 °C (KH100) · up to +90 °C (KH104, KH105)

Advantages: hard chrome layer minimises wear and extends cycle life, economical, good sealing against PTFE seat

Limitations: not suitable for corrosive media, acids or high-purity pharmaceutical processes

Application: standard seat for brass series in water, air, gas and neutral liquid service

Temperature: −20 °C to +150 °C (KH100) · up to +90 °C (KH104)

Advantages: near-universal chemical resistance, very low friction, tight shut-off, FDA-compliant for food contact

Limitations: lower compressive strength than glass-fibre-reinforced variants; higher cold-flow tendency under sustained load

4. PTFE + 15 % Glass Fibre and TFM1600 Seats (KH109, KH113, KH154)

Application: PTFE+GF is the standard seat in the KH109 and KH113 for chemical, water and gas duty; TFM1600 is standard in the KH154 for TA-Luft and ATEX service

Temperature: PTFE+GF −25 °C to +180 °C · TFM1600 −29 °C to +175 °C

Advantages: glass-fibre reinforcement raises form stability and pressure resistance; TFM1600 reduces cold flow further and is approved for fugitive-emission service
