1. Product overview

 

Metals Valve supplies top entry trunnion ball valves in cast steel one piece body with trunnion mounted design, soft seated. The ball, seat rings and other trims shall be inserted into the valve cavity from the top first. Then, the bonnet, with the stem in place, is bolted to the valve body. Gaskets are employed to prevent leakage at the body-bonnet joint. A top entry trunnion ball valve can be conveniently maintained by removing the bonnet, without removing the valve from the pipeline. Compared to the split body side entry ball valves, it eliminates the possible leakage from body joints.
