3 Piece Ball Valves Features

• » Easy In-Line Maintenance: The unique three-piece construction allows the center section to swing out by removing just a few bolts, enabling seat and seal replacement without disturbing the surrounding pipework.
• » Weld-Friendly Design: For socket weld or butt weld applications, the end caps can be welded into the line while the center section is removed, protecting the heat-sensitive soft seats from thermal damage.
• » Full-Port Performance: Provides an unobstructed flow path that matches the pipe’s internal diameter, ensuring high flow coefficients (Cv) and negligible pressure drops.
• » ISO 5211 Direct Mounting: Includes a standardized top flange for the effortless installation of pneumatic or electric actuators, facilitating seamless process automation.
• » Blow-out Proof Stem: Designed with an internal entry stem that remains securely within the valve body even under maximum pressure, ensuring high levels of operational safety.
• » High-Cycle Stem Sealing: Features self-adjusting live-loaded packing with Belleville washers to maintain a constant sealing pressure, significantly extending the service life in automated applications.
• » Anti-Static Grounding: Incorporates internal spring-loaded plungers to ensure electrical continuity between the ball, stem, and body, safe-guarding against static discharge in hazardous areas.
• » Enhanced Pressure Integrity: Robust bolting and precision-machined joints allow these valves to manage high-pressure surges and thermal cycling common in industrial environments.
