The NIBCO® 585HP High Performance Ball Valves represent a giant leap in innovation in the ball valve market. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, the lead-free 585HP full port ball valve line allows for easier installation, adjustability, and long service life. It’s the only two-piece full-port bronze ball valve with a 1,000 CWP and 150 SWP pressure, and an operating temperature up to 250° F.

Features include a reversible handle, triple sealed stem, large accessible packing nut, and our patented laser-welded construction.

Reversible Handle

The handle is reversible by moving the stop pin from one location to the other, eliminating the need to re-install the valve due to an unforeseen handle swing obstruction. This valuable time- and money-saving feature is designed for prefabricated sub-assemblies which are produced off-site and valve handle modification is common during installation.

Triple-Sealed Stem

The 585HP is triple-sealed, with two elastomer O-rings as the primary and secondary seals. The PTFE packing is the tertiary seal and is compressed by a large and easily accessible packing nut.

Large Accessible Packing Nut

Most adjustable wrenches will fit easily under the handle. This new configuration allows the PTFE packing to be serviced and replaced in the future. No special packing wrench required.

Laser-Welded Construction

The laser welding process used on the 585HP is the same high-tech manufacturing technology used in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries. A high-intensity laser beam is focused right at the body to body-end joint, which melts the bronze alloy material at the seam. The seam then re-solidifies as a high strength, welded part.

The 585HP is available in sizes ranging from ½” to 4” with configurations including threaded, solder, and press. All 585HP valves have the following listings and certifications: MSS-SP110/145; IAPMO/ANSI Z1157; NSF/ANSI/CAN 61-8 Commercial Hot 180° F; NSF/ANSI 372; ICC-ES PMG-1558 and ASME A112.4.14/CSA B125.14.

In the pursuit of clean and safe drinking water, consumers are faced with a multitude of options, each promising to deliver pure and refreshing hydration. Among these choices, faucet-mounted water filters stand out as a convenient and effective solution. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of using a faucet mounted water filter over other kinds of water filters.

Convenience and Ease of Installation

One of the most notable advantages of faucet-mounted water filters is their effortless installation process. Unlike under-sink or countertop models that may require complex plumbing adjustments or professional assistance, faucet-mounted filters can be easily attached to the existing faucet with minimal tools and effort. This feature makes them a preferred option for those who seek convenience and simplicity in their water filtration solutions. Within minutes, you can transform your tap water into a cleaner, better-tasting beverage.

Space Efficiency

In today’s fast-paced world, space is often at a premium. Faucet-mounted water filters excel in this regard as they occupy very little space compared to bulkier alternatives like pitcher filters or whole-house systems. Their compact design allows them to blend seamlessly with your kitchen décor without monopolizing valuable countertop or refrigerator space. This space-efficient nature makes them particularly appealing to those living in apartments or smaller homes where every inch counts.

Instant Filtration and On-Demand Clean Water

Faucet-mounted filters offer the advantage of providing clean, filtered water on-demand. Unlike pitchers that require filling and waiting for the water to filter through, or under-sink models that may involve a delay in receiving filtered water, faucet-mounted filters deliver instant gratification. This is especially convenient for busy households or when you’re in a hurry to quench your thirst.

Cost-Effective Solution

When compared to the upfront costs and maintenance expenses associated with other types of water filtration systems, faucet-mounted filters are a cost-effective option. Their initial purchase price is typically lower, and they require minimal maintenance. Replacement filters are usually affordable and easy to find, ensuring that your ongoing expenses stay manageable.

Retention of Essential Minerals

One concern with certain types of water filters is the removal of essential minerals along with contaminants. Faucet-mounted filters strike a balance by retaining beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium while effectively removing impurities. This ensures that your water not only tastes better but also maintains its nutritional value.

Customizable Filtration

Different areas have varying water quality issues. Faucet-mounted filters are designed to cater to specific needs by offering a range of filter options. Whether you’re dealing with chlorine taste and odor, heavy metals, or microbial contaminants, there’s a filter cartridge that can address your concerns. This level of customization ensures that you’re getting the most appropriate filtration for your unique water quality.

No Permanent Alterations to Plumbing

Unlike under-sink or whole-house filtration systems that might require permanent alterations to your plumbing, faucet-mounted filters leave your plumbing infrastructure untouched. This is especially beneficial for renters who may not have the freedom to make permanent changes to their living spaces. Faucet-mounted filters provide a high level of filtration without any significant modifications.

Conclusion

The benefits of using a faucet-mounted water filter are numerous and appealing. They offer unmatched convenience, space efficiency, instant filtration, cost-effectiveness, and more. If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to enjoy clean and healthy drinking water, a faucet-mounted water filter could be the perfect choice for you.

When it comes to delivering safe, heated water in commercial applications, such as schools, hospitals, hotels and multi-family living facilities, the importance of reliable and precise temperature control is a must. But without a precise mixing valve solution, hot water availability can be hindered by big variances and inconsistencies, creating frustration and safety issues for building occupants. Fortunately, Bradley’s new Navigator® digital mixing valve (DMV) ensures exact water temperature, hot water system safety, as well as thermal disinfection.

Engineered with advanced temperature control technology, this new DMV provides precise and reliable temperature control, and programmable features. Designed to deliver and maintain water temperatures within +/- 3º F, even during low and zero demand periods, this digital valve maximizes safety and efficiency for domestic hot water systems.

The valve’s intuitive controller allows proactive temperature control by setting the temperature for normal operation and scheduling periodic thermal disinfection cycles. Data logging and BMS integration allow for convenient remote monitoring to ensure the proper water temperature is being distributed, eliminating the risk of elevated temperatures and scalding.

Customizable thermal disinfection system

To keep water clean and safe, the automatic daily ball rotation feature removes scale to keep the valve running smoothly while reducing cleaning and maintenance time. The valve’s exclusive, programmable weekly thermal disinfection system — with four programmable settings — raises temperatures to kill Legionella and other harmful bacteria. After disinfection, the system will automatically flush hot water and reset for daily use.

The tight temperature control, remote monitoring capabilities, and easy-to-program thermal disinfection system make the valve ideal for larger domestic hot water systems such as schools, hospitals, hotels and apartment buildings.

The S59-5000 series valve is available in five models ranging from 3/4” to 2” in size. Two valves can also be combined into a manifold system to deliver even higher flow rates up to 409 GPM at 20 psi drop.

Each model comes complete with valve, actuator, mixed and return sensors, mixed temperature gauge and controller for a comprehensive ready-to-install package. All materials are 100% factory assembled and tested.
