Dwyer Instruments WE08 | 2-Piece NPT brass ball valve
Genuine Dwyer Series WE08 ball valve from General Tech Services LLC, Saudi Arabia, with free Saudi Arabia shipping available.
Part No. WE08
Product Overview
The Dwyer Series WE08 is a 2-piece brass ball valve with female NPT end connections, designed for reliable process isolation and on/off flow control. The valve can be supplied as a manual configuration or fitted with a direct-mounted electric or pneumatic actuator.
The brass construction provides an economical option for compatible water, air and general-service lines. Its threaded female NPT ends allow straightforward connection to compatible piping systems.
The Series WE08 can be configured for different automation requirements. Electric actuator options are available in weatherproof or explosion-proof configurations, with various supply voltages and either two-position or 4–20 mA modulating control, depending on the selected configuration. Electric actuators also feature thermal overload protection and a permanently lubricated gear train.
Pneumatic actuator options include double-acting (DA) and spring-return (SR) configurations. The supplied specifications list DA pneumatic supply at 40–115 psi, SR operation at 80 psi and 120 psi maximum supply. The actuators are built from anodized and epoxy-coated aluminium.
Direct-mounted actuators create a compact valve-and-actuator assembly for installations where space is limited. Limit switches can also be fitted directly to the valve for remote position indication, including applicable manual-valve configurations.
Because ratings and configurations vary by valve size and actuator selection, provide the required line size, media, pressure, temperature and actuation method so the exact WE08 model can be confirmed.
