  • Resilient synthetic rubber seat disc for tight shutoff 
  • High flow rates with low pressure drop 
  • May be installed either horizontally or vertically

The valves are designed to stop flow out of the container when the hand-wheel is closed. They incorporate an automatic integral back check that is designed to allow flow back into the container to prevent liquid from becoming trapped between the 6588/89LE and the closed globe/angle valve.   HA7513 Globe

 

Features 

  • V-ring spring loaded pressure stem seal provides for leak-proof operation. No packing to re-tighten or replace.
  • Circular bridge in globe design and a dropped seat in the angle design achieve greater flow with less pressure drop.
  • Swivel seat disc assembly minimizes wear which provides for good alignment and long seat life.
  • ¼" F-NPT plugged holes on upstream and downstream sides of the valve.
  • Heavy duty rolled ACME stem threads provide quick action and long service life.
  • Seat Disc assembly incorporates an automatic back check valve, eliminating the need for a separate hydrostatic relief valve.
