LOW TORQUE:

1. The plug rotates 90° (1/4 turn) for rapid full open or close operation. This reduces erosion due to throttling action

2. To ensure a uniform clamping action for the initial pressure seal, the valve body is tapered

3. To ensure a continuous seal becomes more effective as differential pressure increases, the plug and inserts float downstream with pressure differential caused by the initial seal

4. The relationship between the seal and the bearing areas is such that the torque required to operate the valve is minimized

5. To eliminate the need for thrust bearing to reduce friction, the plug is balanced by identical stem seals

TOP ENTRY:

The TE Plug Valve is a lubricated, straight pocket, quarter-turn plug valve for rapid full open or close operation.

The valve cavity is straight to ensure low-torque operation and uniform sealing of the components at the fullrange of pressures.

Inserts are provided with dual seal.
