What is Flanged Ball Valve?
Flanged Ball Valves are 1-piece or 2-piece ball valves that provide effective control of oil and gas operations. Its defining trait is the flanged ends that bolt to oil and gas pipelines. Kimray’s Flanged Ball Valve is a conventional-design flanged-end floating ball valve.

Features of Flanged Ball Valve
Flanged ball valves are used worldwide for reliable general purpose flow control applications. With the availability of a wide variety of optional trims and accessories, these versatile raised face flanged reduced port ball valves provide exceptional value and dependable operation across a wide range of service conditions in every industry.
All resilient seat materials ensure bi-directional, bubble-tight sealing and feature relief slots on the seat outer diameter to relieve pressure past the upstream seat in case of an upset situation such as trapped gas in the valve body as well as positive preloading to ensure low pressure/vacuum sealing capability.
