Qualified to MIL-V-22687, Type I
Sized from 1/4" to 2 1/2", for gas or liquid service for marine Level I/Subsafe applications.
Zero leakage in either direction
Over full pressure range, even with hard to seal gases.
Low Operating Torque
At both high and low pressures, and even after protracted holding periods. Smooth, easy control with positive stops.
All Corrosion Resistant Construction
All wetted parts of corrosion resistant materials. Bearings lined with Teflon® impregnated woven fiber fabric or other proprietary low friction chemically inert materials.
Ball Supported by Trunnion Bearings
Heavy duty integral trunnions carry loads, permitting seat to be optimized for sealing. Rugged construction withstands severe shock, impact and vibration, and provides a wide margin of reserve capacity.
Completely Top Loaded
All components are removable through the top of the valve. This allows inexpensive overhaul and maintenance. Valve body can be permanently welded in place, if desired.
Hydrodynamically Energized Seal
Single seat seals against pressure differential in either direction, at both high and low pressures, with either gases or liquids.
Positive Handle Latch
Latches in full closed, bleed and full open positions to prevent inadvertent operation.
Automatic Bleed Position
Slowly introduces pressure downstream. Handle automatically latches at bleed position. Recommended for all gas applications.
Pressure Forces Balanced Vertically (VBN Series)
Shaft seals at top and bottom of trunnions create complete vertical pressure balance. Shaft seals float for compensation of wear and are hydrodynamically loaded for optimum sealing efficiency.
Designed for Severe Service
Qualified for extreme shock and vibration per MIL-V-22687. Built to exacting standards, suited to a wide variety of fluids and gases. Proven over 30 years of service.
Customized Application Requirements
SBVE will recommend materials, actuator type and valve performance features to meet yourunique ball valve requirements. Pressure ratings over 6000 psi are available in custom designs.
Other Fluid Products
SBVE specializes in high pressure fluid applications - those over 3000 psi. In addition to ball valves, SBVE can provide custom component designs for fluid components not offered by other manufacturers. Call us and we'll make it your way.
