AWWA C507-18 PDF Download

The AWWA C507-18 standard defines the specifications for various types of ball valves used in water, wastewater, and reclaimed water systems. These valves are designed to handle low-leakage and are available in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 48 inches in diameter. The standard covers valves made from materials such as gray-iron, ductile-iron, and cast-steel.

The ball valves described in this standard can be either shaft-mounted or trunnion-mounted, and they feature a full-port design, ensuring maximum flow capacity. They can be single-seated or double-seated, providing flexibility for different applications. The valves are tested and rated for pressures up to 300 psi (2,100 kPa), allowing them to handle a wide range of operating conditions.

In terms of environmental conditions, the AWWA C507-18 standard specifies that these ball valves are suitable for systems with water pH levels greater than 6 and less than 12. They are also designed to operate within temperature ranges of 32°F (0°C) to 125°F (52°C), ensuring their performance in various climate conditions.
