Key Product Features:
Universal Trim Design: Features a 13Cr stem and disc with CoCr alloy-faced seats (API Trim 8), suitable for service up to 850°F (454°C). Seat faces are ground and lapped to a mirror finish for tight shut-off.
Non-Rotating Stem: The unique non-rotating stem design prevents galling and is easily adaptable for actuation, featuring precision Acme threads and a burnished finish.
Precision Construction: Body and bonnet castings are precision machined with a one-piece bonnet design for better alignment. The stuffing box and body-bonnet joint are machined to a fine surface finish to ensure a fully enclosed, leak-tight gasket seal.
Versatile Configurations: Available in Straight, Y-type, and Angle body patterns, with options for rising or non-rotating rising stems.
High-Pressure Capability: Covers pressure classes from 150 to 2500, suitable for critical isolation and throttling services.
Typical Applications:
Cooling water systems requiring flow regulation.
Fuel systems where flow regulation and tightness are critical.
High-point vents and low-point drains for safety and tightness.
Boiler discharge ports, main steam discharge, and heater drain pipes.
Turbine seals, drain pipes, and lubricating oil systems.
