Patented Ballcheck Valve Eliminates Potential Commissioning Error

When using a ballcheck valve and commissioning a gauge assembly on a vessel containing liquid, a common mistake is to open the valve too quickly and engage the ball check. This will result in a false reading on the gauge. The 360 Series valve, from Jerguson, makes it impossible to get a false level reading during commissioning. The short video shows how the patented feature of the 360 simplifies commissioning by avoiding errors.

• Eliminate false level readings during commissioning
• Clean-out port enables internal inspection
• Handle clearly indicates open or closed position of valve
• Certifications for common applications
• Lock-out / tag-out capability is standard
