BVM Series

Flanged Industrial
The BVM Series of Flanged Industrial Ball Valves are ideally suited to Control Ball Valves
a wide range of steam and water applications that require a high 2 Way 2-1/2- 12
degree of rangeability. These valves provide exceptional characterized 06/30/15

control, flow capacity and pressure drops; all with bi-directional ANSI
class Vl shut off.
Our exclusive Thrust Washer and Thrust Washer Protector design
combine to provide a primary seal, reduce torque and prevent
galling. The BVM Series ball valves also feature a floating ball design
for low torque and increased cycle life. Characterized V-Balls and full
port versions provide multiple Cv values in each size.

Features and Benefits

High Cycle Packing Design
Years of trouble free service
Bubble Tight Shut-Off with Zero Leakage
Energy efficient
Independent Packing Gland
Allows in-line servicing
Phosphate Coated Carbon Steel Bodies
For cost effective applications up to 285 psi at 225F
Available NEMA 4 Actuators
Reliable, cost effective control

Increased Linear Response

Due to the in-line design inherent with characterized control ball valves, line
media flows linearly through the piping system. The direct pattern provides
increased media control and rapid response times to controller commands.
