Brass Ball Valve Pneumatic Actuated Spring Return Valve — ART 160
Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the ART 160 SR delivers reliable, automated flow control with a built-in safety margin. At its core is a hot-pressed nickel or chrome plated brass body housing a precision pivoting ball, driven entirely by compressed air, no manual operation, no electric motor required. What sets the ART 160 apart is its spring return mechanism. Should air pressure or power fail at any point, the compressed internal springs immediately snap the valve back to its default position. In safety-critical applications — from compressed air and gas shut-off systems to HVAC and water services, -that automatic fail-safe response isn't a convenience; it's essential.
Connection is equally dependable. ISO 228/1-compliant BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) threads deliver a secure, pressure-tight female-to-female pipe connection, eliminating the risk of leaks under operational stress.
