Product catalog summary
Overview: Flow-Tek's Triad Series ball valves are engineered for high-pressure applications, featuring live-loaded stem seals and a redundant body seal design. They are available in both full and standard port models, suitable for process, severe service, high temperature, and high cycle applications.
Specifications: These valves are fire-safe, certified to API 607 4th Edition, and include a secure mount with an integrally cast actuator mounting pad compliant with ISO 5211 standards. The pressure ratings for models FP and SP are 2200 psi WOG. End connections include threaded, socket weld, butt weld, extended socket weld, extended butt weld, ASME 150/300/600 flanged, custom, and grooved options.
Design Features: The Triad Series valves incorporate hex head bolts for precise alignment, precision-machined balls for bubble-tight shut-off, and investment cast valve bodies for strength and corrosion resistance. The seat design ensures bi-directional, bubble-tight sealing with low torque. Additional features include a double lock nut design for handle removal under pressure and live-loaded stem seals for increased cycle life.
Materials and Components: Constructed from stainless steel or carbon steel, the valves offer various seat materials, including TFM 1600, RPTFE, UHMWPE, Virgin PTFE, PEEK, and Tek-Fil. They feature anti-static protection and dual body seals for enhanced leakage protection.
Fire Safety and Certifications: The valves comply with ASME B16.34 Class 600 specifications and are fire-safe certified to API 607 4th Edition. They also meet NACE MR0175 standards and are hydrostatically shell tested to 1.5 times the rating.
Applications: Ideal for emissions-free severe service, elevated and semi-cryogenic temperatures, and high cycle applications. The actuator mounting pad facilitates easy field assembly of Flow-Tek’s Media Containment Unit.
Additional Features: The valves include a smart stem assembly with a double "D" connection, anti-static devices, and a dual stem seal arrangement exclusive to Flow-Tek. Available in sizes from 1/4” to 4” with various end connections meeting ASME standards.
Specifications and Design: The document details the specifications for Flow-Tek's valve products, focusing on the Triad Series with a 3-piece body design. This design offers installation flexibility, eliminates the need for two sets of flanges, and facilitates both in-line and out-of-line servicing, reducing downtime in process industries and automated valve systems.
Valve Sizes and End Connections: Valves are available in sizes ranging from 1/4" to 4" with various end connections including threaded, socket weld, extended socket weld, butt weld, extended butt weld, and ASME flanged connections. The document specifies the dimensions and configurations for different valve sizes and models, such as the SECuRE MOuNT Model FP and SP.
Materials and Components: The body materials include stainless steel (A351 Gr CF8M) and carbon steel (A216 Gr WCB). Ball and stem materials are primarily 316 stainless steel. Seat materials include RPTFE, PEEK, Tek Fil, TFM, Virgin PTFE, Stainless Steel Filled PTFE, UHMWPE, and Stellite. Stem seals are available in graphite.
Servicing Procedures: In-line servicing involves removing body bolts on opposing sides and swinging the valve body up for maintenance without disturbing the piping system. Out-of-line servicing requires complete removal of the valve body for servicing or replacement.
Ordering Information: The document provides a detailed ordering code system for selecting body style, material, end connection, valve size, ball/stem material, seat type, stem seal, and operator type. An example is provided for clarity.
General Recommendations: All technical information and recommendations are for general use. Specific requirements and material selections should be consulted with Flow-Tek representatives. The company reserves the right to modify product designs without prior notice.

Body Bolts (A) As standard Triad Series valves feature hex head bolts to join end connections to the tapped valve center section. This design, in lieu of a through bolt design, ensures precise alignment of the end caps – minimizing potential problems such as bolt shrinkage and elongation in severe temperature and thermal cycling applications. Less bolting movement reduces the chance for body seal failure. Ball (B) Flow-Tek balls are precision machined and mirror finished for bubble-tight shut off with less operating torque. Ball edges have machined curvatures to reduce seat wear and provide a...

Dual Body Seals Flow-Tek’s Triad Series valves utilize a dual body seal system to provide added protection against external leakage. The inner primary seal is TFM material. The secondary seal is graphite. Utilizing TFM as the inner seal minimizes the possibility of color contamination of the process media. Both body seals are securely retained in grooves machined into the body. These grooves reduce seal movement and cold flow. Therefore, constant compression is maintained even under extreme conditions. Secure Mount A unique standard feature of the Triad Series is an integrally cast top flange...
