Construction Details
The ASC Series 8502 uses a cast brass body and bonnet with a brass stem and disc. The valve incorporates a non-rising stem configuration that allows the valve to be operated without the stem extending upward as the valve opens.
Internal construction includes PTFE stem packing, brass trim components, and a cast iron handwheel for manual operation.
The full-port gate configuration is intended primarily for isolation service, allowing the gate to move out of the flow path when the valve is fully open.
