1/4"- 2"(DN 6 - 50) SERIES 3000
SCREWED NPT BALL VALVES
Quality and Performance at Lowest Cost
Series 3000 ball valves are perfect for applications where positive, long-lasting shutoff is required. Ideal for vent, by-pass, sampling, and gauge locations, these valves provide cost-effective shutoff in a wide range of process industry, manufacturing, commercial, and OEM services. Seating options permit the handling of mild abrasives, steam, and applications with wide temperature swings. Series 3000 valves are available in carbon steel with 316 stainless steel trim, or all 316 stainless steel. Seat options include PTFE (T) for services to 400°F (204°C); filled PTFE (M) for abrasive services, service to 500°F (260°C), steam to 250 psi (17 bar), or for applications with wide temperature fluctuations; and Delrin® (R) seats for services to 2000 psi (138 bar).
FEATURES Tight Shutoff
■ Polymer seats provide tight shut-off in either direction.
■ Unique seat design incorporates a flexible lip which automatically compensates for wear and for changes in pressure and temperature.
Fire Tested
3 Standard valves with PTFE and filled PTFE seats are FIRE-TITE® in accordance with API607 Edition 4.
■ Standard valves with Delrin seats are FIRE-TITE to ISO-10497.
Top Ground
■ Valves are inherently stem-to-body grounded.
Lockable Handle
■ Standard valves are equipped with a lockable handle that may be padlocked in either the open or closed position.
Rugged Unit-Body Construction
■ Single-piece body minimizes potential leak paths.
Internal Entry Stem
■ Anti-blow-out design provides inherent stem retention.
SPECIFICATIONS Valve Body Ratings
The following table shows the maximum working pressure rating of the valve body only. To determine the practical working pressure limitation of the valve, consult the seat rating chart. Working pressure rating is at -20°F to +100°F (-29°C to +38°C). Recommended test pressure is for hydrostatic test with ball half open.
