Description
Stainless Steel ASME Class 150 2-PC Body, Direct Mount Flanged End Ball Valve, Full Port
Stainless Steel ASME Class 150 2-PC Direct Mount Flanged End Ball Valves are full-port isolation valves designed for compatible flanged piping systems where corrosion resistance, automation capability, and dependable quarter-turn shutoff are required. The two-piece body, direct-mount actuator pad, and Class 150 flanged ends make this valve well suited for commercial, industrial, and process piping applications.
The valve includes a built-in ISO 5211 mounting pad, anti-static devices for the ball-stem-body assembly, a blow-out-proof stem, a pressure balance hole in the ball slot, a body casting boss for draining, and a standard locking device.

Two-Piece Full Port Construction
A two-piece ball valve uses a valve body assembled from two primary body sections. This construction provides a durable pressure-containing assembly while securely housing the ball, stem, seats, and related internal components.
The full-port design provides a large internal flow passage through the valve, helping minimize restriction and pressure loss compared with reduced-port configurations.
The flanged-end configuration allows the valve to be installed between compatible Class 150 piping flanges.
Direct Mount Automation Design
ISO 5211 Mounting Pad
- Built-in direct-mount actuator pad
- Conforms to ISO 5211 mounting configuration
- Designed to simplify valve automation
- Reduces the need for a separate mounting bracket in compatible actuator installations
- Suitable for pneumatic or electric automation when properly matched
Automation Ready
- Suitable for manual or automated operation
- Direct mounting helps simplify actuator alignment
- Useful in process-control applications
- Supports remote valve operation when properly equipped
- Verify actuator torque and mounting compatibility before installation
Valve Safety & Service Features
Blow-Out-Proof Stem
- Designed to resist stem ejection under internal pressure
- Supports safer valve operation
- Integral part of the pressure-containing assembly
- Provides dependable quarter-turn control
- Suitable for compatible pressurized piping systems
Anti-Static Devices
- Anti-static provisions between ball, stem, and body
- Designed to maintain electrical continuity through the valve assembly
- Useful where static accumulation is a concern
- Integrated into the valve design
- Refer to the manufacturer cut sheet for detailed construction information
Pressure Balance Hole
- Pressure balance hole located in the ball slot
- Part of the internal ball configuration
- Helps balance pressure within the applicable internal area
- Manufacturer-specific design feature
- Refer to the KFDMV2015FP cut sheet for additional details
Drain Boss & Locking Device
- Casting boss provided on the valve body for draining
- Supports compatible drain or maintenance configurations
- Locking device supplied as standard
- Allows valve position to be secured when required
- Useful in maintenance and controlled-operation applications
ASME Class 150 Flanged Ends
This valve uses a 150# flange pattern for connection to compatible flanged piping systems. Flanged connections provide a bolted mechanical joint that can be disassembled for valve replacement, inspection, or system maintenance.
Verify flange dimensions, facing, gasket requirements, bolting, and system compatibility before installation. The supplied flange dimensional specification document is provided below for reference.
Full Port vs. Reduced Port Ball Valve
Full Port
- Large internal flow opening
- Helps minimize pressure drop
- Helps maintain piping flow capacity
- Useful where unrestricted flow is important
- Used in this valve design
Reduced Port
- Smaller internal flow passage
- Introduces additional flow restriction
- May use a more compact body
- Suitable where maximum flow area is not required
- Different internal configuration from this valve
Common Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Piping
- Flanged piping systems
- Equipment isolation
- Utility piping
- General shutoff service
- Applications requiring full-port flow
Industrial & Automated Service
- Process piping isolation
- Automated valve systems
- Equipment and vessel connections
- Remote shutoff applications
- Applications requiring stainless steel construction
Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Verify Class 150 flange compatibility with the mating piping system.
- Confirm flange facing, bolt pattern, gasket, and bolting requirements.
- Verify that the full-port configuration is appropriate for the required flow characteristics.
- Confirm media compatibility with the stainless steel valve construction and internal components.
- Verify actuator mounting dimensions and torque requirements when automating the valve.
- Use proper flange alignment during installation.
- Do not use flange bolts to pull misaligned piping into position.
- Use gaskets and bolting suitable for the system media, pressure, and temperature.
- Tighten flange bolts using an appropriate cross-pattern sequence.
- Confirm pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Installation should comply with applicable piping codes, flange standards, and project specifications.
