Product Features & Benefits

  • ONE-PIECE BODY: The one-piece compression molded, novolac epoxy resin system optimizes both chemical resistance and mechanical capabilities of the 500XP fiber composite ball valve.
  • STRONG CONSTRUCTION: Rock solid composite construction of graphite fibers combined with high strength corrosion resistant novolac epoxy resin.
  • DURABLE AND LIGHT WEIGHT: Excellent alternative to high alloy valves. Nil-Cor ball valves are 50% - 80% lower cost and 1/3 the weight. Saves money on piping supports and makes Nil-Cor ball valves ideal for use on plastic and FRP flanged piping systems.
  • CHEMICAL RESISTANCE TO CORROSIVE SOLUTIONS: The novolac epoxy resin and graphic fiber combination valve provides outstanding resistance to solvents organic acids, caustics and salt solutions in higher temperature applications.
  • PIPE GROUNDING: The novolac epoxy resin, graphite fiber reinforced valve provides conductivity for those applications where grounding throughout the piping system is required.
  • CORROSION RESISTANT, SAFE AND RELIABLE: All Nil-Cor ball valves feature lightweight, corrosion resistant bodies, no wetted metallic components and a lock-out as standard equipment.
  • UNIQUE COLOR CODING: All valves have unique color coding for easy field identification.
