Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between a ball valve and a plug valve?

A. A ball valve comes with a hollow center and a spherical disc. It features a conical or cylindrical disc with drilled openings that runs through a plug valve. Whereas in a ball valve, the disc or ball is smaller than the disc or plug in a plug valve. A plug valve provides a tighter shut-off than a ball valve because of this.

Q. What is the plug valve's alternate name?

A. Plug valves are also known as slim valves and provide on / off control with only a small amount of pressure loss.

Q. What is the Eccentric action of the plug valve?

A. The plug valve's eccentric action rotates the plug in and out of the seated position with minimal contact, thus preventing high torque and wear.

Q. What is the purpose of the full top access cover?

A. The full top access cover provides quick access for inspection without removing the valve from the line.

Q. What are removable POP shims?

A. POP (packing overload protection) shims protect packing by avoiding overload during field adjustment or replacement.
