ANSI valve code BB-F-TE

What does the valve model Trim HFS BB-F-TE for American standard gate valves indicate about the valve???
\"Trim\" refers to the internal components of a valve, which generally include parts such as the valve disc, valve stem, and valve seat. Here, it likely refers to the types of these components; BB probably stands for Bolted Bonnet, which is a valve cover secured with bolts. :D
What does F-TE mean in relation to valves???
FTE connection type: Female Threaded End
This is inaccurate; BB-F-TE should be a structural description of a ball valve, referring to a stem-connected valve cover – full bore – top-mounted
I agree with what was said on floor 5, but the customer is asking for a gate valve
I can’t figure this out; the structural code for American-standard gate valves is quite different from this, and gate valves are usually full-bore and top-mounted, with structural codes typically being BB-BG-OS&Y
TRIM HFS (High Flow Series) BB-F-TE (BOLTED BONNET, FULL PORT, TOP ENTRY)
Is there a mistake in the translation on floor 8: HFS generally refers to surface hardening
