Features
STANDARD FEATURES ADVANTAGES
Compact Dependable Automated Assemblies Actuator Bracket couplings are eliminated resulting in a lower profile and reliable automated assembly.
In-Service Adjustable Stem Packing The large oversized packing nut, "Mc-Nut" is drilled on each flat. This allows the use of a standard allen wrench to make stem packing nut adjustments while the valve is in service and without removal of the actuator, patent # 6,446,935 B1.
Live Loaded Multiple Packing Stem Seal System The stem seal system uses a combination of an internal thrust washer, an internal stem seal made from Peek, and Nova, two large Nova upper stem seals, and four Belleville spring washers to insure high cycle leak free service.
Heavy Duty Large Diameter Stem The heavy duty stem is larger than comparable valves, which insures extended service life, less down time and overall lower cost.
Integral ISO Mounting Pads The cast mounting pad is precision machined to ISO standards and will allow for actuation variations depending on application requirements.
Steam Rated TFM® and RTFE seats seats are designed to handle 150lb. steam.
Vented Ball Drilled stem slot insures the ball cavity is vented to the process stream. This prevents cavity over-pressurization especially in steam service.
Full Port Design 1000 WOG The full port design insures full flow and minimal cavitation or pressure drop in critical applications. The valve carries a pressure rating of 1000 WOG.
Three Piece Body Design 1/4" - 4" The three piece body design provides a stable compact valve platform, with a variety of end connection options.
Option - Manual Regular lever handle is available, also oval handle that extends 2-1/4" high.
