Valve Operator:

Ball valves can be operated by a lever, wrench, hand wheel, or pneumatic, hydraulic, or motor.
A ball valve is rotated in a clockwise direction to close and an anti-clockwise direction to open.
The maximum lever length is 450mm, and the maximum hand wheel diameter is the greater of the valve's face-to-face dimension or 800mm, whichever is less.

A gear operator is required to be provided for valves as per the below criteria:
6" & larger for Class 150 ball valves
4" & larger for Class 300 & Class 600 ball valve
3" & larger for Class 900 ball valve and onwards
