Ready for any challenge

Ball valves are indispensable for every piping system. Trusting in high-quality components with integrated safety measures is essential to prevent unexpected downtimes and repairs. This is why GF Piping Systems' ball valves, available in various sizes, materials, and actuation options, are the ideal solution. Whether in the Chemical Process Industry, Microelectronics, or Water Treatment, GF Piping Systems offers a broad product range that reliably covers various applications, from basic manually operated shut-off valves to fully automated control valves, meeting the highest performance and quality standards.

Versatile Ball Valves: From shut-off to automated control

Our comprehensive portfolio of highest quality ball valves and decades of experience enable us to ensure state-of-the-art technology and customizable solutions for every application. The versatile, modular design and the wide range of available materials make the Ball Valve Pro Lineup by GF Piping Systems the perfect solution for every need.

Reliable operation

The upgraded generation of Ball Valves matches, if not improves upon, the originals’ high standards, low maintenance, material availability, and certification approvals.

100% flexible

Thanks to the modular design and diverse optional accessories, our Ball Valves can always be adapted to your requirements. This flexibility meets all-electric, pneumatic, or manual operation requirements.

Contribution to digitization

The Pro lineup can easily be equipped with our Industrial Ethernet-Ready actuator portfolio and electrical position feedback. Relevant component information is available via the individual Data-Matrix-Code on each valve.

Complete compatibility

Due to the same installation length and thread as the predecessor valves, no complicated and expensive assembly work is necessary. The Pro-Lineup can be retrofitted with an actuator and accessories during operation and at a low cost.

Time to go Pro

As the successors of proven originals, the Ball Valve Pro lineup has been improved in many ways. A reinforced security break point in the stem interface prevents leaks due to wear or excessive force. Two integrated sealing rings in the stem interface provide double safety. Therefore, the GF Ball Valves offer uncompromising reliability and can be flexibly expanded with optional accessories. All previous quality features of the ball valves have been migrated to the new generations.

User-friendly operation

The ergonomically designed lever allows easy, precise operation. To protect against unintentional or unauthorized actuation, it is lockable as standard and functions with all-new accessory options. Even a tool for removing the union bush is integrated.

Safety through dead man's lever

GF Ball Valves are there for you in case you forget: A manual spring return unit ("dead man's lever") ensures that the valve closes automatically when released. This reliable, compact, cost-effective solution ensures end-to-end process safety and easily eliminates potentially far-reaching risks.

Monitoring by the double sensor

The optional LED position feedback allows the current position of the valve to be centrally recorded and checked at any time – for both manually operated and automated valves. The compact double sensor fits even in the tightest areas and is protected against the ingress of water and dust (protection class IP67).

Information via Data-Matrix-Code

The Data-Matrix-Code on Pro Ball Valves simplifies the storage of all technical information for each valve and thus enables individual traceability. The faultless identification of each valve facilitates easy installation, service, and repair.

Driven to maximum performance

Pneumatic and electric actuators from GF Piping Systems help to make processes more efficient and reduce maintenance costs. Where appropriate, they also contribute to digitization by making it easier to access process and component data and use it to optimize the system.

Success Stories

Ball Valve 3-way chemical tank reference Kilter

Food & Beverage - Agriculture

Automating sustainable agriculture

Feeding 10 billion people while simultaneously becoming more sustainable requires big changes to the current agricultural industry. This means that the entire sector must protect the environment by maximizing the yield on smaller fields. To meet these challenges, Norwegian company Kilter has created a solution: Their AX-1 weeding robot is the first fully autonomous robot to use a Deep Learning Neural Network to ensure healthy plants and enable a more sustainable food production. For optimal results, the AX-1 relies on ball valves by GF Piping Systems to operate the tank system.
