Series 60 Class 2500 Ball Valve from Sharpe®

 Sharpe polymer-seated, 3-piece ball valves provide superior performance and reliability in a wide range of applications.

Series 60 Class 2500 Ball Valve Design Features:

• Body Material: 316 Stainless & Carbon Steel
• Three-Piece Design: In-line serviceable swing-out center section allows easy access to internal valve components without disturbing alignment of pipe.
  Stem Design: Live-loaded, bottom entry, blowout proof, anti-static stem featuring packing that extends valve cycle life over conventional ball valves and is best choice for actuation. Stem seals are live-loaded using Belleville springs to provide consistent sealing forces, reducing or eliminating the need for frequent seal adjustment. High-strength 17-4PH stainless steel as standard material.
• Tongue and Groove Design: Fully encapsulated body seals, allowing ends to be welded in-line, without time consuming and labor-intensive disassembly. Design compensates for bolt expansion and reduces the chance of external leakage. Helps prevent seal ruptures in high pressure, cryogenic or steam applications.
• Floating Ball Design: Precision engineered and machined solid stainless-steel ball with relief hole in the stem slot prevents build-up of cavity pressure while the valve is open.
• Slotted Seat Design: Relief slots help equalize body pressure, and assure leak-tight sealing. Seats also provide a wiping action that cleans ball and seats each time valve is cycled.
• Choice of Seats and Seals: A choice of seat material is available for the most demanding applications.
• Integral Mounting Pad: Permits easy field conversion from manual operation to power actuation.
• Lockable Handle: All Sharpe Series 60 valves are supplied with lever or pipe handles and are designed to permit locking the valve in either the open or closed position.
• Traceability: Body and end piece castings are marked with heat codes providing traceability to the chemical analysis and material test reports performed at the foundry. CMTRs (Certified Material Test Reports) are available upon request.
