Design & Construction

Engineered to API 600, in every detail.

Cast, machined and assembled to a controlled specification, from the one-piece bonnet and guided wedge to the hardfaced seats and fully-encased gasket.

01Body

Designed to API 600

Cast with uniform metal sections, smooth flowing contours and generous radius fillets to prevent stress concentrations. Designed for structural stability, mechanical strength and safe weldability. Precision machined.

02Bonnet

One-piece OS&Y bonnet

Cast steel OS&Y type. The one-piece design aligns the stem accurately, eliminating excessive weight and unnecessary working parts. Every bonnet carries a stainless-steel bushing that guides the stem and backseats the valve when wide open under pressure. Precision machined.

03Wedge

Solid & split wedge

The low-centre stem–wedge contact reduces torque considerably; operation is easy and the wedge does not stick when the valve is closed hot and allowed to cool. The split-wedge design compensates for minor seal misalignment from pipe stress and seals tight on both faces across a wide pressure range. Established long cycle life.

04Guiding

Efficient wedge guiding

Long, smooth ribs line up with the seat rings and wedge, so seating faces do not contact each other until the valve is virtually closed. The T-head wedge–stem connection, with an unusually low point of contact, reduces torque and prevents lateral stresses on the stem.

05Seats

CA15 / Stellite-faced seats

Hardfaced with CA15 / Stellite for long seat life. The hard-seat concept suits on-line service, where seat faces are exposed to live fluid in the open position. Stellite facing reduces on-line seat wear.

06Stem

Heat-treated 13% Cr stem

Heat-treated 13% Cr stainless steel with a precision square thread. A heavy T-head holds the wedge at full contact for a uniform pull; a self-adjusting radial backseating shoulder engages the backseat in the bonnet. A ground, mirror-like finish gives long packing life, low friction and no leakage.

07Body–bonnet joint

Fully-encased gasket

The gasketed joint is critical: its compression is better controlled in a fully enclosed cavity, and the possibility of the SS spiral-wound metal unwinding is eliminated, giving a stronger, leak-proof body-to-bonnet joint.

08Stuffing box

Deep stuffing box

On every valve the stuffing box is deep, finished to a high quality and holds high-pressure or high-temperature packing rings for tightness and long packing life. Asbestos-free graphoil packing is available.

09Ends

Flange facing

Flanges on Class 150 and Class 300 valves have a 1/16″ raised face with a serrated finish.
