The MT Series brass ball valves in dezincification-resistant CW617N alloy (EN 12165) are the standard choice for potable water distribution, HVAC and building services across the UAE and GCC. Rated PN30 with F-F BSP parallel threads to ISO 228-1, they fit directly into standard UAE pipework without adaptors and carry full CE, ACS and WRAS certification for drinking water and food-contact service. Manufactured in Spain to EN ISO 228-1, all sizes are stocked in Dubai for same-day dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the pressure rating PN mean, and is it enough for UAE building systems?
PN (Pressure Nominale) is the maximum working pressure in bar at 20 °C. PN25 and PN30 comfortably exceed typical UAE building water pressure (4–12 bar). For fire-fighting risers up to 20 bar and industrial circuits these ratings remain within safe limits. For higher-pressure steam or industrial applications MT offers PN40 and PN63 ranges.
Why is DZR brass specified for UAE potable-water systems?
Dubai and UAE water supplies are predominantly desalinated — low mineral content, slightly acidic, and aggressive towards standard brass. DZR (Dezincification-Resistant) brass (EN 12165 / CW602N) resists selective zinc leaching that causes standard brass to fail prematurely. DEWA and Dubai Municipality specifications require DZR brass for potable-water pipework.
Are the threads BSP or NPT? Which standard is used in the UAE?
These valves use BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads — the standard throughout the UAE, GCC countries, and most of Asia, Africa, and Europe. NPT (American) threads have a different taper angle and are not interchangeable with BSP. All MT brass ball valves are supplied with ISO 7-1 BSP threads as standard.
What certifications do MT brass ball valves carry?
MT ball valves carry CE marking, comply with PED 2014/68/EU, and are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015. The range holds DVGW (Germany), WRAS (UK) and ACS (France) potable-water approvals — internationally recognised as the highest drinking-water certification standards. Datasheets with certification dossiers are available on request.
What are delivery lead times and minimum order from Dubai stock?
Items marked "In Stock — Dubai Warehouse" ship same or next business day with no minimum order quantity. Delivery within Dubai is typically 1–2 business days; across the UAE 2–3 business days. For project volumes, MT Middle East offers scheduled releases from stock — contact us with your bill of materials for a quotation.
