Product Overview
The 3-Piece Press-Fit Ball Valve is designed for the modern contractor and industrial facility manager who prioritizes both safety and efficiency. By integrating press-fit ends into a traditional three-piece valve architecture, we provide a product that meets rigorous industrial standards while drastically simplifying the assembly process.
Flame-Free Installation Technology
The primary advantage of the press-fit connection is the elimination of “Hot Work.” There is no need for welding, soldering, or heavy threading equipment. Using a standard industrial pressing tool, a secure and permanent mechanical joint is created in seconds. This makes these valves perfect for retrofit projects in operational facilities where fire hazards must be strictly managed.
Optimized Maintenance and Serviceability
Consistent with our 3-piece design philosophy, the center section of the valve—containing the ball, stem, and seats—can be removed for inspection or repair by simply loosening the body bolts. This “swing-out” capability ensures that the press-fit ends remain undisturbed in the pipeline, allowing for rapid servicing and specialized cleaning cycles.
Full Port Flow and Material Integrity
These valves feature a Full Port (Full Bore) design, ensuring the internal diameter matches the pipe size to minimize turbulence and pressure drop. Constructed from AISI 316L Stainless Steel, they provide exceptional resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation. The integrated EPDM or FKM O-rings within the press sockets ensure a double-contoured, leak-proof seal under diverse temperature and pressure conditions.
