Ball Valves put on lockdown
Trunion style ball valves can now be protected with High Pressure’s new locking device. Designed to ensure protection from unauthorized use, the locking device can be used on HiP trunion style ball valves with orifices of .187 and .375 inch in two-way and three-way configurations in both opened and closed positions. HiP’s trunion style design is an ideal ball valve for severe duty applications, with effective shut-off of liquid or gas flow through 20,000 psi at 350F. HiP offers trunion style ball valves with orifices of .187", .375" or .500". The two-way ball valve can be shut off completely with a convenient ¼ turn. The three-way ball valve requires a ½ turn to change port outlets and shut off completely, while an optional diverter style three-way ball valve requires only a ¼ to change port outlets.
