The BONOMI 776000(L) is a full port stainless steel flanged ball valve from the 766000 series, designed for demanding industrial fluid control applications. Its ISO 5211 direct mounting pad allows direct attachment of electric or pneumatic actuators without adapter brackets, reducing overall assembly height and installation complexity.

What certifications does the 766000 series carry?

Fire-safe certification to BS 6755 Part 2, API 6FA, and ISO 10497 ensures the valve maintains seal integrity under external fire conditions. ATEX II 2GD T3 compliance permits use in potentially explosive atmospheres. NACE MR 0103 and MR 0175 / ISO 15156 certification extends suitability to sour gas and corrosive chemical service environments.

How does full port design benefit process flow?

Full port construction means the ball bore matches the pipe internal diameter, virtually eliminating flow restriction and pressure drop across the valve. This is critical for viscous media, slurries, and applications where pipeline pigging is required. Combined with virgin PTFE seats and FKM seals rated from -20 to 186 degrees Celsius, the 776000(L) handles a wide range of process fluids at pressures up to 275 psi (19 bar).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 776000(L) and the 766001?

The 776000(L) uses a stainless steel body (ASTM A351-CF8M) while the 766001 uses carbon steel. Choose stainless for corrosion resistance in chemical, marine, and hygienic applications. Carbon steel is suitable for non-corrosive media where material cost is a primary concern.

Can this valve be automated?

Yes. The ISO 5211 mounting pad accepts BONOMI Valbia VB series electric actuators and DA series pneumatic actuators directly, without the need for mounting brackets. The 776000(L) is supplied with a lever handle as standard; actuated assemblies use dedicated suffix codes.
