Plug valve

The plug valve can be supplied with either resilient seating or metal   seating to hold to the tightest of industries standards. The resilient   seated valves are tested to bubble tight requirements (API 6D –with   no visible leakage allowed) and the metal seated valves are tested   to drop tight standards (ISO 5208 Rate B).

 

The plug valve is manufactured to ANSI B16.34 ball valve face to face dimensions. It is a direct replacement - flange to flange - of most standard ball valves. It is easily actuated with a simple,  quarter-turn operation.

 

The closing member (Hemi) cuts through the media stream similar to a gate valve, reducing turbulence/cavitation normally experienced in ball valve designs, providing a more uniform/fluid flow of media.

 

The plug valve is inherently fire-safe and has been tested and passed the latest ISO 10497 (API 607 5th edition) requirements.
