Product Details

OVERVIEW

The Athena top entry ball valve allows maintenance to be carried out without removing the valve from the pipeline. Trim components can be removed vertically from the bonnet side using specialized tools, dramatically reducing maintenance downtime and installation costs.

Body construction uses forgings for smaller sizes and sand casting for larger sizes. The valve is available in full bore and reduced bore configurations and is certified to API 6FA Fire Safe Design.

Top Entry Ball Valve

Top entry trunnion ball valve designed for in-line maintenance, allowing full trim removal without extracting the valve from the pipeline.

In-Line Maintainability

Full trim components can be extracted vertically from the bonnet without removing the valve from the pipeline, minimizing shutdown time.

Blow-out Proof Stem

Stem design prevents ejection under pressure, ensuring safe operation and personnel protection in high-pressure applications.

Anti-Static Design

Electrical continuity between the ball, stem, and body prevents static charge build-up, essential for flammable or explosive media.

API 6FA Fire Safe Design

Qualified to API 6FA fire testing requirements, maintaining integrity and limiting external leakage in fire exposure conditions.

Full Bore & Reduced Bore

Available in both full bore and reduced bore configurations to suit application flow requirements.
