Top Entry Floating Ball Valves

Product Overview

Top-mounted floating ball valves are designed for small to medium-sized pipelines where reliable flow control and easy maintenance are critical. The valve's floating ball design utilizes fluid pressure to compress the ball against the seat for a positive seal and smooth operation. Top-mounted construction allows for easy internal maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.

Typically used on pipelines up to DN200 (8 inches), this valve is ideal for low to medium pressure applications in industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, HVAC, and oil and gas. Floating ball valves are not suitable for high pressure environments, but excel in applications where easy maintenance, tight sealing and efficient flow control are critical.

Main characteristics

Top-entry design: The valve's top-entry construction allows easy access to internal components for maintenance and servicing without the need to disassemble piping. This minimizes downtime and reduces labor costs.

Floating ball design: The floating ball is not fixed, but relies on fluid pressure to ensure a tight seal against the valve seat. This design is typically used for small to medium sized valves (up to DN200) and is ideal for low to medium pressure applications.

High sealing performance: The floating ball design provides a reliable seal, reducing the risk of leakage and ensuring efficient flow control during operation.

Corrosion-resistant materials: the valve is made of high-quality stainless steel or carbon steel, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, to ensure a longer service life in harsh environments.

Compact and cost-effective: The valve is compact and cost-effective, providing a reliable solution for small and medium-sized pipelines with a small footprint.

Ease of Installation and Maintenance: The top entry design simplifies installation and makes maintenance more efficient, reducing overall operating costs and downtime. Customizable actuation options: Valves can be equipped with manual, electric or pneumatic actuators for flexibility in meeting different operating requirements.

Key Benefits
