GEMÜ Motorized 2/2-Way Ball Valve, Type 728 – 88617820

The 88617820 is a GEMÜ Type 728 motorized 2/2-way ball valve designed for automated shutoff and control of process media in industrial systems. This electrically actuated ball valve provides quarter-turn operation for reliable on/off control and positive isolation in steam, condensate, and fluid distribution lines. The 2/2-way configuration allows full-bore flow when open and tight shutoff when closed.

In industrial laundry environments, GEMÜ Type 728 valves are commonly installed in steam supply lines, condensate return systems, and utility water circuits serving washer-extractors, tunnel washers, and flatwork ironers. The motorized actuator eliminates the need for plant air and is suited for installations where electrical control integration is preferred.

Maintenance Tip: Cycle the valve periodically during low-load hours to prevent ball seizure in high-temperature or scale-prone service.

CICUS specifies process control valves aligned with commercial laundry utility and steam infrastructure.
