GB Series Technology – Advantages

Compatible with your applications

GB series ball valves are designed to perform in harsh environments and in applications with aggressive media, and there are a variety of available material and construction options that allow design engineers to achieve the compatibility and longevity required.

• Swagelok dual-certified 316/316L stainless steel material
• Other options include: 6-Moly, Alloy 2507, Alloy 625, Alloy 825, and Alloy C-276
• Available with API 607 Fire Safety rating
• Can be configured for sour gas service with materials of construction selected in accordance to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156

Easy to install, easy to configure

GB series ball valves feature a standardized design and a variety of configuration options to reduce inventory requirements while maintaining ease of installation and use.

• Integral Swagelok end connections help minimize costs related to purchasing, installing, and testing additional fittings while creating consistency with existing systems
• The bolt pattern enables connection of an optional lockout handle, panel mount kit, or an ISO 5211 pneumatic actuator
• Bidirectional flow and shutoff capabilities (in non-API 607 valves) simplify installation by removing the potential for incorrect valve orientation during assembly

Safety and Reliability

the GB series is configured in either a two- or three-piece construction, with a crimped, mechanically locked end screw design to avoid accidental disassembly and increase safety.

• live-loaded seats maintain shutoff at low and high pressure through changes in temperature
• Valves undergo 100% assembly testing to ensure they will provide leak-tight service
• Body seals designed for hydrostatic system proof testing up to the maximum rated pressure
• Proven seat design and factory testing provides greater confidence in seat performance
