Split Body Ball Valves are assembled using two or three modular body sections bolted together along circumferential flange joints. This modular architecture allows the installation of a true full-bore ball matching the nominal pipeline diameter, which eliminates flow throttling and pressure drop, while allowing fast disassembly, seat replacement, and reconditioning during scheduled plant turnarounds.
Zeron Fastners manufactures precision Split Body Flanged Ball Valves in Class 150#, 300#, and 600# conforming to API 6D and ASME B16.34. Available in ASTM A216 WCB, A352 LCC, and Stainless Steel (CF8M/CF3M). Featuring fire-safe spiral wound gaskets, self-relieving seats, and anti-blowout stem retention.
