[Contro Series Ball Valves Table of Contents]
 
THREE PIECE DESIGN 
The three piece design minimizes installed cost by serving as both valve and union, eliminating the need for separate expensive unions.  Valves can be permanently installed into piping systems without hampering future replacement or repair.
 
DROP-IN CENTER SECTION 
Maintenance costs are significantly reduced by use of a drop-in center section which minimizes the time required to replace seats and seals or the entire center section itself. By removing one bolt and loosening the other three, the center section can be easily removed. 
ONE PIECE SEAT/SEAL DESIGN 
The one piece seat/seal design provides reliable bubble-tight shut off, long seat life, and ease of maintenance.  Since the seat and seal are one single piece, unlike most seat and seals that are two separate pieces, replacement is simple and effortless. 
BOTTOM ENTRY STEM 
As safety is of primary concern, the Contro Series utilizes a bottom loaded stem in all ball valves.  The stem is retained by a machined shoulder in the body of the valve that mates up to a shoulder on the stem. 
The Contro B/C Series ball valves are true in-line maintenance style valves featuring a variety of end connections such as NPT, socket weld, butt weld or a combination thereof, that can easily adapt to any piping system. 

Available in both standard port (¼" - 8") and full port (½" - 6"), the B/C Series utilizes a one-piece seat/seal design providing long seat life, reliable bubble-tight shut off, and ease of maintenance.  Its drop-in center section minimizes the cost and time require for installation and maintenance.  Standard materials of construction include carbon and stainless steel and all come standardly with 316 stainless steel ball and stem for maximum corrosion resistance.  Sizes 2½" - 4" full port are available in bronze w/stainless steel trip.  Seat material options include PTFE, reinforced PTFE, UHMWP, Viton and Buna-N.

In addition to the standard design, the B/C Series is available in a "Fire-Safe" version with or without FM approval.  The "Fire-Safe" valve is available for those applications where flammable or hazardous substances are being handled.  It employs a metal "lip", which is an intefral part of the end connection that, in teh event that primary (soft) seats are destroyed, the line pressure will force the ball against the "lip" effecting a seal that will prevent excessive leakage downstream.  Additionally, a tongue and grove arrangement with graphite gasket prevents external leakage to atmosphere.  The "Fire-Safe" valve is pressure rated by Factory Mutual for 125 psi maximum in flammable liquid servic.
