Floating Ball Valve Introduction
Features and Benefits
- Reliable Sealing – The ball valve features metal-seated, hard-faced seat rings and spring components that ensure a continuous and secure seal.
- Easy Maintenance – The stem and drive train can be replaced without needing to fully disassemble the valve, simplifying maintenance.
- Extended Durability – Made from corrosion- and erosion-resistant materials, with thermally sprayed coatings on the ball, seat rings, and springs to enhance longevity.
- Superior Stem Strength – The one-piece solid stem shaft is designed to withstand up to 200% of the operating pressure, providing exceptional durability.
