6 of 6The stem packing arrangement is provided with Belleville Washers, which makes the system ‘live loaded’ – a constant force acts on the packing, giving leak proof sealing and minimized fugitive emissions.
The packing gland is designed to allow tightening without the need to dismount the operator. To maximize operator compatibility, the operator mounting flange is designed as per internationally accepted ISO standards.
To eliminate chances of stem ejection, the valve is provided with anti-blowout features.
Magwen’s floating ball valve is provided with a unique seat design that automatically relieves trapped media into the pipeline, should there be pressure surges due to media expansion.
The valve is provided with an anti-static arrangement to facilitate an electrical pathway to prevent build up of free charge on the ball surface. This feature serves to increase safety of the pipe network.
The handle is given an ergonomic grip and is designed to minimize the operator’s effort.
