Steam

Sizes: 1/4" – 3" (8-80mm)

Features

• Watts Steam Ball Valves compared to gate valves incur less
stem packing wear because of minimal quarter turn move­ment. Gate valve operation requires multiple turns and a ris­ing stem; resulting in accelerated stem seal wear and external
steam leaks.

• Watts Steam Ball Valves compared to gate valves offer resil­ient seats that “Hold Tight” and are more abrasion resistant to
foreign material in the system. They offer consistent, repeat­able operating torque.

• Mineral filled PTFE seats

• 316 Stainless Steel ball and stem

• Minimal pressure drop due to large ports

• Blow-out proof, pressure retaining stem

• High cycle life reinforced PTFE stem packing and thrust
washer

• Vinyl insulator on heavy duty zinc-plated carbon steel handles

• Fast quarter turn open or close operation

• Low operating torque

• Adjustable stem packing gland requiring minimal maintenance

• Each valve individually tested, air under water, in the opened
and closed position

• Pressure rated at 250 psi (17 bar) WSP @ 405°F (207°C),
600 psi (41 bar) WOG non-shock
125 psi (8.6 bar) WSP @ 353°F (178°C), 400 psi (28 bar)
