The original Chemtrol® True Union design allows the valve and operational components to be conveniently lifted from the piping system for repair or replacement. No disruption or length change of connected piping is required. The valve can be easily joined with the threaded end connections. Please refer to Chemtrol technical data sheets, valve selection guides and catalogs for engineering and installation information. PVC Schedule 80 exhibits excellent corrosion resistance properties and has the highest long-term hydrostatic strength of any other major thermoplastic material used for piping systems. Chemtrol® PVC valves are lightweight, easy to install, maintenance-free, and will not rust, scale, pit or corrode. Choose Chemtrol® valves for the most reliable, versatile and economical valve option in commercial and industrial applications. Chemtrol® valves are backed by a 1-year limited warranty. Because Chemtrol® is a NIBCO brand the flow-control valves are unsurpassed in quality, performance and longevity.

Nibco MA985AA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does a 3-way 2-position diverter valve like the Nibco T45D2-E actually work in a piping system?
It's a 3-way, 2-position diverter ball valve: the handle sends flow from a common port to one of two outlets, so you switch a line between two branches rather than just opening and closing it. Typical uses are sending a feed to one of two filters, tanks, or irrigation zones. If you only need on/off on a single run, a standard two-way true union ball valve is the cheaper choice. The body is PVC Schedule 80 with female NPT threaded ends.
2) What pipe connection does the Nibco T45D2-E diverter valve use, and can I solvent weld it?
No solvent welding. All three ports are female NPT threaded, so it screws onto male-threaded Schedule 80 PVC nipples or threaded adapters using thread sealant or PTFE tape. If your system is solvent cemented throughout, you'd run a male adapter into each port or choose a socket-end version instead.
3) What pressure and temperature can this Chemtrol PVC diverter valve handle?
150 psi at 73 degrees F with water, non-shock, full port, and a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F. Pressure capability drops as temperature climbs toward that limit, so hot process lines are out of scope. Do not use or test it with compressed air or other gases, which rules out pneumatic pressure testing.
4) Can I service the valve without cutting my PVC pipe?
That's the point of the true union design. The union nuts back off and the valve and its internals lift out of the line for repair or replacement, with no disruption and no change to the length of the connected piping. For an MRO crew that means a seal replacement is a wrench job, not a re-pipe.
5) Is EPDM the right seal for my chemical, or should I look at a different elastomer?
The T45D2-E uses EPDM O-rings and EPDM seat seals. EPDM suits water, irrigation, and many dilute acids and bases. What it does not tolerate is petroleum oils and hydrocarbons, so if your media is oil based you need a different seal material. Nibco also publishes a plastics incompatibility warning covering POE (polyol ester) fluids that applies to PVC valves, so check that before running refrigeration lubricants through it.
6) Is the Nibco T45D2-E approved for potable water?
It carries NSF/ANSI Standard 14 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 listings and is flagged lead-free, which is what a potable water spec normally calls for. It also meets ASTM F1970 for thermoplastic valves. Listed applications include commercial plumbing, industrial, and irrigation.
7) Will this PVC valve hold up in a corrosive chemical feed line?
PVC Schedule 80 is the body material, and it resists corrosion well while carrying the highest long-term hydrostatic strength of the major thermoplastics used in piping. It won't rust, scale, pit, or corrode, which is why these get specified on chemical feed and water treatment skids over metal valves. Confirm your specific chemical against a PVC and EPDM compatibility chart, and stay within 150 psi and 140 degrees F.
8) What color is the valve body and handle?
Dark grey body with an orange handle. The orange handle is the visual cue crews use to spot a diverter in a manifold full of standard two-way valves, which matters when someone is turning valves in a pump room under pressure.
