Special mechanical design and construction
Solid one-piece high torque durable stem.
Tight stem-to-ball directional engagement, ensures relief hole alignment.
Strict materials and manufacturing tolerances control.
Efficient heat transfer
A narrow space between the extension ID and the stem OD allows the
stem seal to remain at an ambient temperature.
No-Trap Cavity
Relief hole on the upstream sphere of the ball to prevent pressure buildup in the cavity.
Single-side or self-pressure-relief sealing for bidirectional full pressure service.
Flexible bonnet installation angle
Up to 45° from the vertical axis for the 12” bonnet (per BS6364 guidelines).
Up to 15° from the vertical axis for the 6” bonnet (not BS6364 compliant).
Flow direction indicators (for valves with preferred flow direction)
Highly visible arrows on body and bonnet top.
“T” mark on the stem, showing relief hole direction.
