Ball valve installation direction
Thread Content
Do ball valves also have requirements regarding the direction of installation? For example, some ball valves are sealed at the outlet end, so they must be installed in the direction of flow of the medium
Yes, one-way seals require special attention. It doesn’t matter for two-way.
Yes, ball valves also have orientation requirements during installation. Some ball valves have seals designed at the outlet end, and must be installed in accordance with the flow direction of the medium. This ensures that the ball valve can seal completely when closed, preventing fluid leakage. Therefore, when installing a ball valve, it is necessary to determine the flow direction of the medium based on the valve’s design requirements, and to install the ball valve correctly in the pipeline. .
Ball valves are usually double-sealed, but it is necessary to consider which side will be used for pressure relief, that is, the location of the SPE and DPE valve seats, and to ensure that the direction of pressure relief is safe
