Valves
Design benefits
- Field replaceable thick elastomer sleeves are easily replaced without disassembling the valve
- Sleeves are available in a variety of materials to handle abrasive and corrosive applications
- Full port flow reduces pressure drop and turbulence, thus minimizing wear
- Bi-directional shut off
- 100% bubble-tight shut off
- Packingless design; no gate or stem packing
- Open bottom allows for the purging of large solids, and solids in high concentration
- Yoke design allows fitting for all designed actuators
- No seat cavities where solids can collect and cause gate interference
- May be used in wet or dry application
- Flush control option allows for periodic cleaning of the lower discharge vent and allows flushing as needed
Design benefits
- Unibody design and rugged heavy duty construction ensures long valve life and greater reliability
- Flexible two-piece sleeve system allows valve to cycle in heavy slurries without sticking
- Sleeves are easily replaced without disassembling the valve
- Replaceable upper seal design is not only packingless, which eliminates the need for periodic adjustment, it is also a self-lubricating system and is rechargeable without valve disassembly (sizes 2” through 16”)
- Full port design reduces pressure drop and turbulence
- Open bottom allows for the purging of large solids and solids in high concentration
- Bi-directional shutoff
- Wafer style saves pipeline space
- Sleeves are available in a variety of materials to handle abrasion and chemical applications
- Flushing plate option allows for periodic cleaning of the lower discharge vent and allows flushing as needed
- Enclosed bronze bushing with a protected grease chamber means less operating force after long dormant periods
- Upper stem protector and optional protective lower stem cover prevent external contamination
