3-Piece Ball Valves
The 3-Piece Ball Valve offers enhanced durability, flexibility, and ease of maintenance, making it a highly reliable choice for demanding industrial applications. Its three-piece design consists of two end caps and a center body, allowing for convenient removal of the central body without disturbing the pipeline.
This valve operates with a floating ball that rotates within the body to control the flow, providing a tight seal in both the open and closed positions. Suitable for Class 150#, 300#, and 600# pressure ratings, it is designed for a variety of uses including chemical processing, oil & gas, and water treatment. The flanged end connections ensure secure and easy installation, making it ideal for industrial and high-pressure environments.
