There is one valve that performs well in a variety of systems and applications – The Swagelok 60 Series Valve.  Up to 850°F with metal seats or 600°F with PEEK seats, this valve is ideal for applications when zero leakage and frequent operation are demanded. 

Applications include:

  • Steam Service 
  • Thermal Service
  • Fire Service
  • Chlorine Service 
  • All Welded LDAR
  • Rapid-Cycle

Special alloys available in:

  • Alloy 400
  • Alloy C-276
  • Alloy 20
  • Alloy 600
  • Titanium

60 Series Features:

  • Quarter-Turn actuation
  • Stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and special alloys
  • Wide selection of seat materials
  • Variety of end connections in 1/8 to 2 in and 6 to 25mm sizes
  • Pneumatic and electric actuators
  • Optional vent porting
  • Flexing seat design ensures leak tight seal in both low and high pressures systems
  • On-off (2-way) and switching (3-way) valves
  • Compensating seat design
  • Live-loaded, two-piece stem packing enhances system safety

Swagelok products demand performance under pressure. The three most common areas for leakage within a ball valve are due to poorly designed stem packing, ball seats, and end connections. The 60 Series valve was engineered to eliminate those common leak points from your system and, in turn, enhance performance and save money.

Coned-Disc Spring-Loaded Seat    

  • Compensates for seat wear, pressure, and temperature change
  • Reduces seat wear from pressure surges & seals regardless of flow direction
  • Flange seal provides leak-tight seal between flange and center body support ring 
  • Support ring contains the seat and protects against seat bulge, premature wear, and deformation

Two Piece Chevron Designed Stem Packing

  • Requires less operating torque
  • Improves performance
  • Compensates for stem wear

Additional Features:

  • Directional stem flats who open or closed position
  • Stem springs compensate for changes in pressure, temperature, and wear
  • Grounding spring provides continuity for antistatic protection
  • High-Strength stem bearings provide smooth actuation, eliminates galling, and resists wear
  • Bottom loaded stem prevents blowout, and enhances system safety
