Floating Ball Valves
Floating Ball Valves

Kent Valves manufactures a versatile range of process ball valves in single, two, and three-piece constructions. The valves are available in full-bore and regular-bore designs, in a variety of end connections and materials to suit customer requirements. The floating ball design of ball valves is the universal choice for most process and utility applications. In this design, sealing takes place by allowing the ball under pressure to move towards the downstream seat to effect a tight seal. The Kent floating ball valve design has a small cavity, making it a “no cavity ball valve” with a low pressure drop. These valves are bidirectional valves.
