Danfoss GBC 42s Shut-off Ball Valve | 1 5/8 in (42 mm) ODF Solder | 009L7028
Product Description:
The Danfoss GBC 42s (009L7028) is engineered for the high-volume refrigerant lines required by the UAE’s large-scale cooling sector. Featuring 1 5/8 in (42 mm) ODF solder connections, it ensures a permanent, high-integrity brazed joint that is critical for leak prevention in large Dubai installations. Its full-flow construction allows for maximum Kv values, ensuring minimal pressure drop across the valve—a vital factor for maintaining energy efficiency and system COP during the intense UAE summer. Built to withstand pressures up to 45 bar, it is compatible with R410A and other HFC/HCFC refrigerants. The valve’s safety-focused design includes a rupture-proof spindle and a dual-sealing system, guaranteeing long-term reliability in the demanding Middle Eastern climate.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Unrestricted Full-Bore Flow: Ensures maximum efficiency and no loss in system capacity, optimized for UAE‘s large-scale HVAC systems.
- Hermetic Solder Integrity: 1 5/8 inch ODF ports provide a robust, leak-free installation suitable for UAE industrial projects.
- 45 Bar High-Pressure Rating: Specifically designed to handle modern high-pressure refrigerants used in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
- Bi-Directional Flexibility: Can be installed in any orientation, perfect for the complex piping layouts of UAE skyscrapers.
- Rupture-Proof Spindle: Advanced safety design prevents the spindle from being ejected under pressure, protecting technicians in UAE plant rooms.
