Hayward Plastic valves are specialty products and top choice for industries wanting to have ultra-clean equipmentsin place.  Plastic valves have many uses with very expanding types of materials and good designs.

Properties of Hayward industrial plastic valves

Advantages of thermoplastic valves or industrial plastic valves as they are commonly known are wide. These include:

Corrosion
                                                                  Abrasion and chemical resistance
                                                                  Smooth inside walls
                                                                  Easy to install
                                                                  Lower life cycle cost
                                                                  Long life expectancy
                                                                  Light weight



These benefits have made them easily accepted in industrial and commercial applications such as water waste treatment, water distribution, chemical and metal processing, pharmaceuticals and food processing, oil refineries and power plants among others.

Hayward Plastic valves can be made from many different materials used in many different configurations. Most common plastic valves are made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as well as polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyldene fluoride (PVDF).  The CPVC and PVC valves are commonly joined to piping systems via solvent cementing sockets ends, flanged ends or threaded ends. On the other hand, PVDF and PP valves are joined via piping system components through heat, electro fusion and butt technologies.

 Thermoplastic valves excel well in corrosive environments and also very useful in general water service as they are lead free. Will not rust and dezincification resistant.  However, before using these industrial plastic valves, ensure they are tested for health effects including low lead requirements.

Choosing a proper material for industrial uses like corrosive fluids is handled by consulting the chemical resistance guide manufacturer to understand the effect the temperature will have onthe strength of the plastic materials. Plastic valves are used in several industrial applications such as mining for their strengths, working temperature, chemical resistance to strong acids, salts, organic solvents and dilute bases.

 Design challenges experienced include thermal expansion and sensitivity to temperature. However, engineers have designed long lasting and cost effective systems that can be used in corrosive and general environments.

Types of Hayward industrial plastic valves

Ball valves

Butterfly valves

Diaphragm valves

Check valves

Standard all valves are mostly found in trueunion designs as they facilitate valve body removal in maintenance situations without any need to disrupt connecting pipe. Butterfly valves easily mate with metal flanges as they conform to bolt cycles, bolt holes and overall ANSI class 150 dimensions. Diaphragm valve have smooth inside diameter which adds precise control.

 Just like any valves, the plastic valves can be actuated y determining operating requirements like DC versus AC power and pneumatic versus electric. This is done by first understanding the type of environment that will surround the actuator.  Industrial plastic valves are the ideal solution orb option in corrosive environments. Therefore, even the housing of actuators is a very important consideration.

Choosing the right and most suitable industrial plastic valves gives you confidence as the operations will not be affected by environment conditions like rust and corrosion among others.  In addition, you get to enjoy several other benefits including cost cutting on maintenance.
