About BONOMI

Bonomi is an Italian valve manufacturer with a product range that includes ball valves, butterfly valves, and actuated valve assemblies. The company's catalog covers manual and automated flow-control products used in industrial piping systems. 3G Electric supplies Bonomi valves globally, with stock including stainless steel ball valves, three-way diverting and mixing valves, and electrically actuated ball valves. The product families most commonly specified by plant engineers and maintenance teams include the 956N series three-way T-port ball valves and the M8E series electrically actuated two-way ball valves.

The 956N series is a manual three-way ball valve constructed from CF8M stainless steel, which is the cast equivalent of 316 stainless steel. These valves are available in sizes from 3/8 inch through 2 inches, with FNPT threaded connections on all three ports. The T-port flow configuration allows for diverting flow from a common inlet to either of two outlets, or mixing flow from two inlets into a common outlet. Each valve includes a locking lever handle, which allows the valve to be secured in a given position. The CF8M body material provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, steam, and mildly corrosive media. These valves are typically used in applications where flow needs to be redirected without shutting down the entire system.

The M8E series is an electrically actuated two-way ball valve with a stainless steel body and flange x flange connections. These valves are available in sizes including 2-inch and 3-inch port sizes. The actuator operates on 24V AC/DC and includes a manual override for emergency operation when power is unavailable. The actuator mounting pad conforms to ISO 5211, which is a standard that defines the interface between the valve and the actuator, allowing for interchangeability of actuators from different manufacturers. The IP68 rating indicates that the actuator enclosure is protected against dust ingress and prolonged immersion in water, making it suitable for washdown environments or outdoor installations. These valves are compatible with media including combustible gases, corrosive chemicals, natural gas, steam, and water.

Bonomi valves are used in a range of industrial applications, including chemical processing, water treatment, natural gas distribution, steam systems, and general industrial piping. The stainless steel construction of the 956N and M8E series makes them appropriate for applications where carbon steel valves would corrode. The three-way T-port design of the 956N series is particularly useful in batch processing, where flow must be diverted between different tanks or process lines. The actuated M8E series is used in automated systems where remote or programmed control of flow is required.

3G Electric supports the Bonomi line by maintaining inventory of commonly specified models and providing access to datasheets, technical specifications, and logistics support for global delivery. The product listings include details such as port size, connection type, body material, voltage, IP rating, and compatible media, which allows procurement specialists and engineers to verify that a given valve meets the requirements of their application. For actuated valves, the ISO 5211 mounting pad and manual override are standard features that simplify installation and maintenance. 3G Electric can source additional Bonomi models beyond those listed in the online catalog, subject to availability from the manufacturer.
