2 Banjo Ball Valve

[Tina Larzelere]

Iam plumbing up 3" fill port on my water trailer. I have split off the hoses, just past the single cam lock fill fitting. I want to install two Banjo 3" ball valves parallel to each other and then one hose to each tank. I would like to get the ball valve handles to mirror each other, to that when shut off, the RH valve handle faces the front of the trailer and the LH handle faces the rear of the trailer. I have tried every scenerio that I can think of, with no luck. Am I doing this wrong or is there a way to set the valves up the way I would like? Thanks.

Banjo Polypropylene Bolted Ball Valves are created with precision moulded Polypropylene reinforced with fibreglass for additional strength. The valve opens and closes with very little pressure to the handle, while the PTFE self-lubricating stem bushings and seals cannot stick or bind. The ball is diamond turned after moulding to make it spherically perfect which provides precise contact between ball and seats, and the self-aligning feature allows the ball to move freely against the 100% PTFE seats for a smooth operation. Stainless steel bolts (4 bolt design), FKM (viton type) seals. Reduced bore.

Ball valves may be installed in vertical or horizontal pipe runs, they are bi-directional therefore flow direction is not critical, however the best practice is to set up the valve handle to point in the direction of flow whenever possible.

Ball valves control the flow of chemically compatible media within a system. The ball within the valve body turns to an open and closed position by manual, electric, or pneumatic actuation. Manually-operated ball valves, also known as quarter-turn valves, open and close with a handle to control media flow. The handle visually indicates whether the valve is open or closed, depending on its position relative to the valve body. Electric-actuated ball valves open and close with an electric motor and close faster than pneumatic-actuated valves. Pneumatically-actuated ball valves open and close with compressed air, and they have a higher closing force than electric-operated valves for use in systems moving viscous liquids. Parts and accessories for ball valves replace worn components to ensure valves are in good working order.
