The 505F is a true multi-way ball valve with balanced 4-seat construction.
This full port valve is available in a variety of flow plans which can replace multiple 2-way valves in a process system.
A standard ISO 5211 pattern mounting pad allows for easy assembly of pneumatic and electric actuators.
Operating / Test Conditions:
- Temperature Range: -20° to 420° F.
- Maximum Working Pressure: 1000 psi WOG (1/4" - 2") 600 psi WOG (3" - 4")
- All valves shell and seat tested to ANSI/ASME B16.34 and API 598.
- All materials comply with applicable ASTM material specifications.
- End connections: NPT to ANSI B1.20.1, BW to B16.25, SW to B16.11.
- Options:
- 4- or 5-way construction with multiple flow patterns.
- Butt weld and socket weld configurations available.
Features- Balanced 4-Seat Construction:
- Unlike 2-seated diverter valves, the 505F series has 4 seats (5 seats in bottom entry valves) for positive shut-off. This true multiport function can reduce the number of valves required in a process system and gives engineers greater design flexibility.
- Trunnion Mounted Ball (1-1/2" - 4"):
- Lateral forces in a 3-way valve can cause unwanted seat distortion. Stem/ball isolation prevents side loading and wear of downstream seats, improving performance and service life.
- ISO 5211 Mounting Pad.
- High-Cycle, Live Loaded Stem Packing:
- Dynamic loading on stem packing ensures a tight seal through varying pressure and temperature conditions, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.
- O-Ring Stem Bearing (3" and 4"):
- Maintains stem alignment.
- Reduces packing side loading and wear.
- Enhances stem seal.
- Blow-Out-Proof Stem:
- Stem is bottom loaded to prevent removal when valve is in service.
- Full Port Design:
- Full port construction improves flow characteristics for greater process efficiencies.
- Multi-Position Lever Handle:
- The lever handle can be positioned in 4 different orientations for greater piping flexibility.
