FB Series ball valves use a unique combination of features to provide leak-tight performance at high and low pressures and temperatures, high cycle-life, low maintenance, low actuating torque, and configuration flexibility.
LFB low-temperature ball valves are designed with materials selected for applications requiring temperature ratings from -40 to 200°F (-40 to 93°C), pressure ratings up to 6000 psig (414 bar), and flow coefficients up to 13.8.
FB Series ball valves are very versatile. They can be used in both high and low pressure instrumentation systems, process lines, utility systems, and other applications. Designed for higher pressures than many floating ball valves, they can be used in applications such as high-pressure CNG filling station supply lines, equipment and in instrumentation and control systems. Unlike many floating ball designs, FB Series valves are also suitable for low and dynamic pressure conditions. In addition, end-screw construction allows users to specify a wide variety of end connection size and type combinations.
