Ball valves offer high cycle low-maintenance operation

CIRCOR Instrumentation has introduced a high cycle low-maintenance design into an increasing range of Hoke ball valves utilizing energised stem packing technology, which extends life up to 100,000 cycles, and live-loaded seats that compensate for wear and temperature cycling without ever needing adjustment, making the valves totally leak-tight in operation over their entire pressure range.

The DL/TL Series unidirectional ball valves give a choice of Delta stem seals or a spring-loaded Teflon design that reduces operating torque and caters for media compatibility, also offered on the 7 Series two and three port 3-piece bolted valves.

Supplied with a manual handle or optional factory-assembled air actuator that reduces installed cost, these quarter-turn valves give fast on/off operation and visual indication of position. Grounded stems prevent static discharge for safety.

DL/TL models are available in brass, 316 stainless steel and Monel, while 7 Series valves come in 316 SS as standard or special alloys to specification. There is also a 70 Series style having a welded end-fitting to prevent accidental disassembly and a 71 Series with gasketted end-fittings to allow rebuilding.
