80x80mm PTFE Seated Flush Bottom Flange End 150# Ball Valve FLOVIN

A flush bottom flange end ball valve is a type of ball valve designed with a flange connection at the bottom of the valve body. It is commonly used in industrial applications, especially in processes where the pipeline or vessel requires easy and complete draining or flushing.

Here’s a general description of a flush bottom flange end ball valve:

• Valve Body: The valve body is typically made of robust materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or other alloys to withstand high pressure and corrosive environments. It houses the ball and other internal components.
• Ball: The ball inside the valve is a spherical disc with a hole through the center. It rotates within the valve body to control the flow of the fluid. When the hole aligns with the flow direction, the valve is open, and when the ball is rotated to block the flow, the valve is closed.
• Flange Connection: The flush bottom flange end allows the valve to be directly mounted on a matching flange connection on the pipeline or vessel. The flange provides a secure and leak-proof connection, ensuring easy installation and maintenance.
• Drainage and Flushing: The distinguishing feature of this valve is its ability to provide complete drainage and flushing of the pipeline or vessel. Due to its design, the ball and internal passages do not create any dead spaces where fluid can accumulate, ensuring that no residual fluid remains after the valve is closed.
• Actuation: Flush bottom flange end ball valves can be manually operated using a lever or handwheel, but they can also be automated using actuators for remote control and operation.
• Applications: These valves are commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and other applications where thorough cleaning and flushing are critical.

It’s worth noting that various manufacturers may offer specific design variations and additional features for flush bottom flange end ball valves. When selecting a valve for a particular application, it’s essential to consider factors such as material compatibility, pressure and temperature ratings, flow control requirements, and any other specific needs of the process.
