Ball Valves with Spring Return Handles

CRP can supply the Atomac range of ball valves with spring return operating handles up to 3”NB (AKH3). Spring return handles commonly known as dead mans handles ensure that the valve cannot be left open (or closed) the operator must maintain opening pressure on the handle to operate the valve, as soon as the handle is released the powerful spring mechanism ensures that the returns to its natural un-operated state. The spring return mechanism is totally enclosed preventing the ingress of dust and offers a long working life. As well as fully assemble valves we can also supply the spring return handle and mounting kit separately for assembly to existing valves on site.
