Tight shutoff is essential during oil and gas applications, and the superior anchoring of FET’s PBV trunnion-mounted ball valves makes them especially well-suited for large, high-pressure valve applications. The trunnion-mounted stems absorb line pressure and minimize friction between balls and seats to reduce torque even at high operating ranges. We manufacture all of our three-piece and two-piece trunnion ball valves to the highest engineering and quality standards. For example, these designs offer a standard feature of a secondary emergency sealant injection system that provides temporary seals to otherwise damaged areas. FET’s valve manufacturing also leverages a wide variety of certified materials that resist sulfide stress cracking and increase performance in corrosive environments. Correct material selection is essential to balance harsh effects from total system pressure, application temperature and elemental sulfur/chloride content. Our entire valve catalog offers easy field service and numerous options such as stem extensions, locking devices, transition pieces, and direct-mounted actuation.
