Jerguson 360 Series safety ballcheck valve with bypass mode

With a traditional ballcheck valve, a gage assembly on a vessel that already holds liquid is easy to commission wrongly: the operator opens the valve too fast, the ball seats, and the gage shows a false level. The 360 Series removes that risk with a bypass position.

To commission, the top valve is set to bypass, then the bottom valve. Liquid flows into the glass without seating the ball. When the level stops rising both valves go to run, and from then on the ballcheck isolates the gage if the glass or a gasket fails. The quarter turn handle and the coloured ring show the valve status at a glance, and a locking pin holds the position.

The ballcheck sits inside a metal seated valve with Class V shut-off, certified for low emissions to API 641 and ISO 15848-1. A clean-out port allows quick inspection or flushing.
