Swagelok GB series ball valves are engineered to provide high flow rates at a working pressure of 413 bar. They can be widely deployed as general-purpose ball valves. The valve is designed for quick, easy setup, with bidirectional flow eliminating concerns about backwards installations. Integral Swagelok end connections that range in size from 3/8″ to 1″ further simplify system design and minimise labour and component requirements. The valve is built to allow simple customisation, featuring a bolt pattern that can be used as an installation point for an optional lockout handle or panel mount, as well as a bracket compatible with an ISO 5211 pneumatic actuator. The valve was designed with an emphasis on safety, featuring a patent-pending, mechanically locked end screw design that reduces the risk of accidental disassembly or leakage. A proven leak-tight stem seal design with a blowout-proof stem provides additional reliability. The GB series ball valve is available in a variety of alloy materials such as 6-Moly, Alloy 2507, and Alloy C-276, as well as materials selected in accordance with Nace MR0175 for sour gas applications.
