Intended use Ball valves are on/off valves. Richter bottom drain ball valves series KA-N/F / KAPN/F are pressure containing components in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) for the passage and shut-off of fluids. The valves are suitable for vapours, gases and non- boiling liquids of group 1 according to the PED and have a corrosion-resistant plastic lining.
