AV 4000 Series - Ductile Iron Grooved-End Full Port Ball Valve 600CWP (4000DV 2" - 6")

Reliable Valve Solutions for Everyday Water Challenges

For over 100 years, American Valve has delivered high-performance valves trusted across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Known globally for our expertise in ball valves, thermoplastic valves, plumbing valves, and water treatment components, we engineer solutions that solve critical flow control challenges with long-lasting performance and reliability.

💧 Why Gate Valves Fail — And What Makes the 4000 Series Better

Gate valves are prone to leakage by design. With a Class IV shutoff, their discs and seat rings remain exposed to wear and debris buildup, making them difficult to operate—often requiring excessive force or cheater bars just to turn.

🔧 The 4000 Series: Performance Without Compromise

The 4000 Series Flanged Ball Valve is the ultimate gate valve replacement. It’s engineered for maximum unobstructed flow, protected valve seats, and smooth automation with low operating torque and an ISO 5211 mounting pad.

Unlike traditional gate, butterfly, or eccentric plug valves that are prone to failure in demanding environments, the 4000 Series is the trusted solution for critical water, air, and industrial fluid applications around the world.

🛡️ Built to Last: The PFA*-Fused Ball Advantage

At the heart of the 4000 Series is a PFA-fused solid cast iron ball*—a breakthrough innovation offering industry-leading durability and chemical resistance.

Benefits of the PFA-Fused Ball:*

• Exceptional corrosion resistance

• Inhibits lime, calcium, and sludge buildup

• Lasts up to 10 times longer than unprotected balls

• Lower torque requirements, longer seat life

• Permanent bond—won’t chip, flake, or wear off

⚙️ Model 4000DV Ductile Iron Grooved-End Ball Valve

Sample Specification:

The 4000DV is the ideal alternative to butterfly valves in grooved pipe systems. Designed with dramatically lower torque, a full port opening, and the long-term corrosion resistance of PFA-fused stainless steel*, the 4000DV provides durable, efficient performance in demanding applications. PFA is permanently fused 0.008” into the solid stainless steel ball to prevent chipping, flaking, or wear. This ductile iron valve is engineered to replace any plug valve, carbon steel ball valve, or gate valve in high-pressure systems.

Features:

• A536 Grade 65-45-12 ductile iron body

• PFA*-fused solid stainless steel ball

• Blowout-proof stainless steel stem

• Reinforced PTFE seats

• Lockable in full open or closed positions

• ISO 5211 mounting pad for easy actuation

• Adjustable-length/removable handles for tight spaces

• Full port design for maximum flow efficiency

• Certified to:
  ◦ NSF/ANSI 61
  ◦ NSF/ANSI 372

Ratings:

• 600 PSI CWP

• Up to 366°F

• Built to replace plug valves, carbon steel ball valves, and gate valves
