VKD
FIP has developed a
VKD DUAL BLOCK®
2-way ball valve
to introduce a high
reference standard
in thermoplastic
valve design. VKD
is a True Union ball
valve that meets the
most stringent needs
required by industrial
applications.
DUAL BLOCK®2-WAY BALL VALVE
DN 10÷50
• Connection system for solvent weld, threaded and flanged joints
• Patented SEAT STOP® ball seat carrier system that lets you micro-adjust
ball seats and minimise the axial force effect.
• Easy radial disassembly allowing quick replacement of O-rings and ball
seats without any need for tools
• PN16 True Union valve body made for rigid PVC-C injection moulding
equipped with built-in bores for actuation. ISO 9393 compliant test re-
quisites
• Option of disassembling downstream pipes with the valve in the closed
position
• Floating full bore ball with high surface finish
• Carrier integrated in the body for valve anchoring
• Ball seat carriers can be adjusted using the Easytorque adjustment kit
• Valve material compatibility (PVC-C) and elastomer seal elements (EPDM
or FPM), with water, drinking water and other food substances as per cur-
rent regulations

For water and non-hazardous fluids
to which the material is classified as
CHEMICALLY RESISTANT. In other
cases, a reduction of the nominal

(25 years with safety factor).
KV100 FLOW
COEFFICIENT
The Kv100 flow coecient is the
Q ow rate of litres per minute of
water at a temperature of 20°C that
will generate ∆p= 1 bar pressure
drop at a certain valve position.
The Kv100 values shown in the
table are calculated with the valve
completely open.

All valves, whether manual or driven, must be adequately supported in many
applications.
The VKD valve series is therefore provided with an integrated bracket
that permits direct anchoring of the valve body without the need of other
components.
For wall installation, dedicated PMKD mounting plates which are available as
accessories can be used. These plates should be fastened to the valve before
wall installation.
PMKD plates also allow VKD valve alignment with FIP ZIKM pipe clips as well
as allowing dierent sizes of valves to be aligned.

INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with installation. please follow these instructions carefully:
1) Check that the pipes to be connected to the valve are aligned in order to avoid
mechanical stress on the threaded joints.
2) Check that the DUAL BLOCK® union nut locking device (16) is fitted to the valve
body.
3) To release the union nuts, axially press the release lever to separate the lock and
then unscrew it in the counter-clockwise direction.
4) Unscrew the union nuts (13) and insert them on the pipe segments.
5) Solvent weld or screw the end connectors (12) onto the pipe ends.
6) Position the valve body between the end connectors and fully tighten the union
nuts (13) manually by rotating clockwise without using wrenches or other tools
that could damage the union nut surface.
DISASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY
1) Isolate the valve from the line (re-
lease the pressure and empty the
pipeline).
2) Release the union nuts by pressing
the lever on the DUAL BLOCK® (16)
along the axis and separate it from
the union nut (fig. 1-2). IT is also pos-
sible to completely remove the lock-
ing device from the valve body.
3) Fully unscrew the union nuts (13) and
extract the body sideways.
4) Before disassembling, hold the valve
in a vertical position and open it 45°
to drain any liquid that might remain.
5) After closing the valve, remove the
special insert (1) from the handle (2)
and push the two projecting ends
into the corresponding recesses on
the ball seat carrier (11). Rotate the
stop ring anti-clockwise to extract it
(fig. 3-4).
6) Pull the handle (2) upwards to re-
move it from the valve stem (4).
7) Press on the ball from the side op-
posite the "REGULAR - ADJUST" la-
bel, being sure not to scratch it, until
the ball seat carrier exits (11), then
extract the ball (6).
8) Press the stem (4) inwards until it
exits the body.
9) Remove the O-Rings (3, 8, 9, 10) and
PTFE ball seats (5) extracting them
from their grooves, as illustrated in
the exploded view.
1) All the O-rings (3, 8, 9, 10) must be
inserted in their grooves as shown in
the exploded view.
2) Insert the stem (4) from inside the
body (7).
3) Place the PTFE ball seats (5) in the
housings in the body (7) and in the
ball seat carrier (11).
4) Insert the ball (6) rotating it to the
closed position.
5) Screw the carrier (11) into the body
and tighten up in the clockwise dir-
ection using the handle (2) to limit
stop.
6) lnsert the valve between the end
connectors (12) and tighten the union
nuts (13) making sure that the socket
seal O-rings (10) do not exit their
seats.
7) The handle (2) should be placed on
the valve stem (4).
Note: during assembly, it is advisable
to lubricate the rubber seals. Mineral
oils are not recommended for this task
as they react aggressively with EPDM
rubber.

7) Lock the union nuts by returning the DUAL BLOCK® to its housing, pressing on it
until the hinges lock on the nuts.
8) If necessary, support the pipework with FIP pipe clips or by means of the carrier
built into the valve itself (see paragraph “fastening and supporting”).
The VKD valve can be equipped with a handle block to prevent ball rotation (sup-
plied separately).
When the handle safety block (14, 15) is installed, lift the lever (15) and rotate the
handle (fig. 6-7).
A lock can also be installed on the handle to protect the system against tampering
(fig. 8).
Seal can be adjusted using the extractable insert on the handle (fig. 3-4).
The seals can be adjusted later with the valve installed on the pipe by simply tight-
ening the union nuts. This "micro adjustment", only possible with FIP valves thanks
to the patented "Seat stop system", allows the seal to be recovered where PTFE ball
seats are worn due to a high number of manoeuvres.
The Easytorque kit can also be used for micro adjustments (fig. 5).
WARNINGS
- If volatile liquid such as Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) or Sodium Hypochlorite
(NaCIO) are used, for safety reasons we recommend you contact the service
centre. These liquids, upon vaporising, could create hazardous over pressures in
the area between the body and ball.
- Always avoid sudden closing operations and protect the valve from accidental op-
erations.
