GF Piping Systems (GF) has introduced a 200-page, Valve Technical Handbook that provides a new resource for customers seeking detailed valve information. Over 20 manual valves and 22 actuated valves in a variety of styles are covered.

The handbook walks the reader through the process of proper thermoplastic valve selection for a given, and examines specialty and custom valves as well as spare parts to provide a visual summary of all GF manual and actuated valves showing available materials and sizes. Easy-to-read charts summarize these important factors to make the valve selection process easier.

Detailed technical information is then provided for each valve that includes specifications, options, pressure temperature curves, flow characteristic charts, Cv Values, dimensional information and informative cut-aways. 

“It’s basically a single source reference book that makes it extremely easy for our customers to access technical valve information.  It’s just the most recent  addition to the many tools GF already provides  ‒ the ‘Downloads and Tools’ and ‘Resource Center’ sections of the web site currently provide many other valuable resources,” said Jeffrey Sixsmith, Product Manager for Valves and Actuation for GF Piping Systems.   

The full-color handbook is available in both digital and print format.
