585HP High Performance Ball Valve Features:
Reversible Handle
Why is it important?
It’s common that prefabrication requires handle modification. This interference requires uninstalling the valve, flipping it around, and reinstalling it, or cutting/bending the handle. Press valves cannot be uninstalled and require cutting out the valve, replacing the old valve with a new one, and adding an additional union and pipe. This wastes labor time, and adds cost to the project.
Pain Points Solved:
- Reversing the handle direction is easy and fast
- Relocate the pin and swing the handle around
- Pin is removed with a hex key
Simply unscrew and relocate the stop pin, reverse the handle, and you’re done!
Accessible Packing Nut
Why is it important?
Pain points of traditional valve:
- Packing nut adjustment adds labor when the system is first pressurized
- Current configuration requires a special wrench to fit under the handle
- Without the special packing wrench, the handle must be removed to tighten the packing nut
The 585HP solves these pain points:
- Large and accessible packing nut allows it to be easily tightened with an adjustable wrench
- No need to remove the handle
- Less hassle, thus saving time and money
Triple-Sealed Stem
Why is it important?
The 585HP High Performance Ball Valve has three stem seal elements — compared to the industry standard of one in most commercial ball valves.
- Triple-sealed stem
- Two elastomer O-rings
- Replaceable PTFE packing
- PTFE packing and adjustable packing meet engineering specification requirements
- Specialized high temperature polymer O-rings for steam applications
