Flat Black Floor Plate Dante Globe Valve 1/2″ Threaded FP.GV.FB

Description

Product Overview

The Dante FP.GV.FB flat black floor plate is a precision‑engineered component designed to mate seamlessly with 1/2″ threaded globe valves. Crafted from high‑grade zinc, the plate undergoes a rigorous die‑casting process followed by CNC machining to achieve exact dimensions and a flawless surface finish. The flat black coating not only provides an attractive aesthetic but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the part in demanding industrial environments. With a shaft length of 2‑1/16 inches and a diameter surface of 2‑1/8 inches, the plate offers a robust interface that distributes load evenly across the valve body, reducing stress concentrations and minimizing the risk of leaks. Certified to ANSI and UL standards, the floor plate meets stringent safety and performance criteria, making it a reliable choice for both new installations and retrofit projects. Its compact dimensions—2.25 x 2.19 x 2.19 inches—and lightweight construction (3.09 ounces) allow for easy handling and installation without the need for specialized tools.

Usage

This floor plate is ideally suited for a wide range of hydraulic and pneumatic applications where a secure, leak‑free connection is essential. Typical use cases include water treatment plants, chemical processing facilities, oil and gas pipelines, and manufacturing equipment that rely on precise flow control. The 1/2″ NPSM threaded inlet and outlet connections ensure compatibility with standard globe valve assemblies, allowing technicians to integrate the plate quickly into existing systems. Because the plate is made from zinc, it offers excellent resistance to moisture and many aggressive chemicals, making it a dependable component in environments that experience temperature fluctuations, vibration, or exposure to corrosive media. The flat black finish also helps to conceal wear and minor surface imperfections, maintaining a professional appearance even after prolonged service. Installation is straightforward: simply thread the plate onto the valve using a standard wrench, verify alignment, and tighten to the recommended torque. No additional sealing compounds are required, as the precision‑machined threads provide a tight seal out of the box.

FAQ

What size thread does the floor plate use?

The floor plate uses a 1/2″ -14 NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical) thread on both the inlet and outlet, matching the standard threading found on most Dante globe valves.

Can this floor plate be used with valves made by other manufacturers?

While the plate is optimized for Dante globe valves, the 1/2″ NPSM thread is a common standard. It can be used with other brands that share the same thread specification, but we recommend confirming compatibility with the valve supplier.

Is any additional sealing material required during installation?

No additional sealants are necessary. The precision‑machined threads provide a tight seal when properly torqued, eliminating the need for PTFE tape or pipe dope.

What is the recommended torque setting for installing the floor plate?

We advise tightening the floor plate to a torque of 15–20 Nm (Newton‑meters). This ensures a secure connection without over‑compressing the threads, which could lead to damage.

How does the limited one‑year warranty work?

The warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use. If the floor plate fails due to a manufacturing issue within the first year, we will replace it at no cost. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors.
