VB30 Control Valve
Q. Why is Kele finally selling ball valves?
A. Along with the appearance of inexpensive ball valves used in temperature control systems we heard horror stories about leaky valve stems and all of the expensive problems they cause. We found that the ball valves in common use are designed for manual control and had been adapted for motorized control. We took a stand that we would not sell this makeshift design. We waited to find a ball valve that was up to the rigors of wide temperature swings and motorized control. The design of the Kele ball valve has been proven in rigorous testing* against the competition. No other valve on the market is durable enough for temperature control use. Even with the design enhancements, Kele was able to keep the pricing competitive with other ball valves in use today. Why are we finally selling ball valves? Because we found a valve with the right stuff!
