-The
anti blow-out stem assembly prevents a stem blow-out even
when the top gear is disassembled.
-The
short pattern face to face dimension is in accordance with
ANSI B16.10 and ANSI B16.5, 150 lbs. (Flange dimension). Consequently
fully lined or sleeved plug valves can be replaced by HORIZON
LINED BALL VALVES without altering the existing pipework.
-Valves
are supplied with anti - static devices, which provide protection
against potentially dangerous electro - static discharge.
-The
free floating Ball Valve Principle ensures the Ball will
seal against the down stream seat ring giving a positive sealing
force even when the line pressure is low.
-Horizon
Lined Ball Valves have all the inherent design features of
a conventional Ball Valve such as low torque, quarter-turn
operation, bubble tight shut off and a minimum pressure drop.
