True Union Design for Fast, Tool-Free Valve Service In-Line
The IPEX EasyFit VXE Series 1-1/4 in. (DN32) true union ball valve simplifies maintenance on pressure-fed pond filters, UV clarifiers, and pump manifolds. The double-union end connections let you remove the valve body from the piping run in seconds without cutting pipe, which is critical when servicing equipment mid-season. A full-port bi-directional bore delivers unrestricted flow in either direction, so orientation during installation is not a concern.
EasyFit Connection System
The VXE Series uses IPEX's EasyFit socket/thread ends that accept both solvent-weld socket pipe and female-threaded fittings in the same opening, eliminating the need to stock two connection types. EPDM seals handle continuous contact with chlorinated water, pond treatments, and temperatures from 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F).
