Perfection in detail
In the ball valve series from
GF Piping Systems, attention has
been given to every last detail of
the individual components. Func-
tionality and design have been
perfectedsothatwecan–as
always–offerourcustomersa
reliable and intelligent solution.
Easy installation
The ball valve type 543 features
integrated threaded inserts.
It can be installed directly and
rapidly. There is no need to attach
complicated fixtures to the valve.
The mounting plate from the ball
valve type 546 can be used for
installation.
Modular solution
With the assembly kit, you can
transform the manual three-way
ball valve into an actuated valve
with a variety of functions. The
module can be used as a standard
mechanical interface thanks to
the all-plastic housing, the sturdy
design and secure fastening on
the ball valve. It also enables
direct connection of electric and
pneumatic actuators.
Lockable handle
Comfort and safety are the out-
standing features of the multi-
functional handle:
• indexing in 45° increments
• exact, safe positioning of the
ball
• lockable and therefore pro-
tected against unauthorized
access
• made of robust PPGF
(polypropylene fiberglass-
reinforced)
Fast mountingThe preassembled threaded inserts made of stainless steel permit direct installation
Optimal connectionThe assembly kit as interface for actuators
Perfect placement
The 90° stop can be placed in four positions as a
clip-on ring

Reliable connectionThe plastics-oriented buttress thread withstands maximum forces
Perfect for Plastics
In developing the buttress thread
for the ball valve type 543, a pla-
stics-oriented connection technol-
ogy was realized and implemen-
ted. Compared to the trapezoid
thread, the buttress thread offers
the following advantages:
• ca. 50% better coverage of the
thread flanks
• no radial force components due
to contact of the vertical flanks
in the loading direction
• max. protection against the
union nut loosening and
jumping off in case of water
hammer
Defined handle operation
The new 90° stop enables using
the lever in defined positions
of 90°. The specially designed
housing of the ball valve enables
placing it in diverse positions
by means of a clip-on ring. The
handle stop is made of robust
PPGF and can be used for all ma-
terials. It is covered by the handle
and therefore not visible from the
outside.
Multitalented
The fiberglass-reinforced po-
lypropylene (PPGF) handle is
morethanjustahandle–italso
contains the tool for adjusting
the union bushes. Another new
feature is the marking imprinted
on the handle for the various ball
positions. This marking cannot be
removed.
