Design Features and Benefits:
- Designed and manufactured in accordance with API 6A latest edition
- Metal-to-metal sealing between seat and gate
- Bi-directional sealing design for versatility and increased service life
- Upstream sealing design with non-elastomeric, spring-loaded and pressure-energised seals; restricts debris from entering the bonnet cavities and continuously maintains contact between the gate and seat during downstream sealing function to eliminate body cavity clearance
- Back seating allows the stem packing to be replaced while the valve is under pressure
- Valve trims suitable for extremely corrosive, high temperature, H2S and CO2 environments
- Low-operating torque with well-lubricated upper and lower bearings
- Spring-energised stem packing eliminates the requirement of plastic injection
- Shear pin protects the stem from over-torqueing
- Suitable for exploration, testing, stimulation and flow-back services.
