"PBP" ball valve

[virk]

Perhaps anybody can help me?

A friend in a german news group asks, what the abbreviation "PBP" on a ball valve means. Finally he wants to know the manufacturer. He thinks, it is an american product.

Kind regards

I haven't heard of PBP, but maybe someone garbled PBV in translation? I've used PBV ball valves from Zytec Global (the U.S. web site is

http://www.pbv-usa.com/

and it has links to worldwide services) for many years and I've been very satisfied with the product.

PBP means probably Pressure Bypass Valve from RK valve.

Margot,
Are you sure? Virk specified that it was a "ball valve" and RK's PBP is very different beast from a ball valve.

If it is PBV and your friend is in Europe it is more likely to be "Pibiviesse" in Italy. This was the Original "PBV" valve. Zydell (Zytec) were their distributor many moons ago but there was some kind of dispute over the use of the name and PBV (the Italian Co) became Pibiviesse whilst Zydell continued with the PBV name.

Hope this helps
