Orbit Plug Valves

Orbit plug valves lift the plug off the seat before rotating it, so the sealing faces rub only through the last fraction of travel — the rolling-and-cambering motion that keeps a tight shut-off through cycling service, granular media and slurries where a conventional quarter-turn would grind grit across the seat. The range covers an execution in DN15 to DN350 rated Class 150 to 2500 and PN16 to PN420, built to API 599, API 6D, ASME B16.34 and BS 5353. Bodies and bonnets come in WCB, CF8, CF8M, CF3, CF3M, LCB or WC6, the plug in A105+ENP or stainless grades, seated in PTFE or PPL with PTFE/PPL seat rings under graphite, PTFE or PPL packing and an SS304+graphite gasket. Face-to-face follows ASME B16.10, API 6D, DIN 3202, EN 558-1, EN 12982 and ISO 5752; flanges per ANSI B16.5, ASME B16.47, EN 1092, DIN 2543–2547 and AS2129; screwed ends per ANSI B1.20.1, BS21 and JIS B020; inspection and test to API 598, API 6D, DIN 3230, EN 12266 and ISO 5208. Selection turns on cycling frequency, seat polymer versus media, and the end style.
