Design & Performance
Reliable Shutoff
- Lubricated plug design provides quick opening and closing
- Sealant forms a thin, incompressible sealing film
- Metal-to-metal seating eliminates elastomeric seat wear
- Solid-piece plug provides true bi-directional seating
Low-Maintenance Operation
- Small initial sealant injection helps establish positive shutoff
- Minimal follow-up sealing helps maintain long-term performance
- Sealant reduces friction between the valve body and plug
- Reduced friction contributes to lower operating torque
Common Applications
Gas & Mechanical Systems
- Natural gas
- Propane gas
- Digester gas
- HVAC balancing
Industrial Services
- Liquid asphalt
- Ore slurries
- Industrial process piping
- General industrial shutoff applications
