Compact Ball Valve Grey PVC Threaded 6” (1060GT)
The 1060GT is a 6-inch compact ball valve in grey PVC designed for full-bore, quarter-turn shutoff in large-diameter piping systems where corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and weight savings matter. The threaded (NPT) end connections allow for straightforward installation and removal without solvent cement — making this valve a practical choice for systems that require periodic maintenance, inline replacement, or temporary isolation.
Grey PVC (also known as Type II PVC) offers enhanced impact resistance compared to standard white PVC, making the 1060GT a strong fit for above-ground industrial environments, chemical processing lines, and exposed mechanical rooms where fittings are subject to incidental contact or thermal cycling.
The compact body design reduces face-to-face installation length compared to standard full-size ball valves, helping installers work within tight spaces without sacrificing full-port flow capacity. A quarter-turn lever handle provides immediate visual confirmation of open/closed status — critical for operations teams managing multiple isolation points across a system.

Industries & Applications
The 1060GT is well-suited for systems requiring reliable, chemical-resistant shutoff at large diameters:
- Chemical Processing & Industrial Plants — Grey PVC's superior impact resistance and broad chemical compatibility make it a preferred choice over white PVC in aggressive industrial environments handling acids, alkalis, and solvents.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment — Provides corrosion-free isolation on treatment lines, recirculation loops, and dosing systems where metal valves would corrode or require protective coatings.
- Agricultural & Irrigation Systems — Threaded connections simplify seasonal installation and removal on mainline irrigation headers and pump discharge lines.
- Aquaculture & Aquatic Facilities — Lightweight PVC construction reduces stress on pipe hangers in overhead or suspended piping configurations common in recirculating systems.
- Commercial HVAC & Mechanical Rooms — Compact body profile fits within confined mechanical spaces while handling chilled water, cooling tower makeup, and condensate isolation.
