Valve, Ball, Piper, 3", 6170#

Series PB Ball Valves

• Piper’s Optimum Flow Technology: Maximum flow bore sizes are offered that correspond to the inside diameters of ASTM A106 Grade B pipe, reducing or completely eliminating transition areas and thereby minimizing system friction pressure loss.

• Minimal line spread required for easy removal from service.
• Modular 3-Piece design provides unlimited end connection options.
• Compact design occupies up to 40% less space than conventional flanged- end ball valves for skids or manifolds. (See right)

WORKHORSE OF THE PIPER MANIFOLD SYSTEM

Piper Series PB Ball Valves are engineered for optimum flow performance under diverse pressure and flow situations, and offer the economy of field repairability.

• Valve Bonnet easily accommodates actuators or gear operators.

• Extra-Large Ball-to-Seat

Contact Area reduces torque,

assures positive sealing and distributes the

force between ball and seat seal for reduced wear and extended life.

• Removable Seat Carriers serve two important functions: 1) They allow equalization of pressure around the seat, reducing torque while opening the valve;

and 2) Allow valve repair even if minor erosion of the

seat pocket occurs.
