Product Overview
This API Top Entry Ball Valve features a one-piece body with top-entry mount design, supporting inline maintenance without pipeline disassembly. Equipped with floating ball self-energized seal, it runs smoothly with tight and reliable sealing. Designed in full compliance with API 6D, API 598, API 607, ASME B16.34 and GB/T 12237 standards, it is ideal for high-pressure, large-bore and long-running services, widely used in API-standard pipelines of petrochemical, oil & gas, power and heating industries.
Key Features
1. Top-entry Structure for Easy Inline Maintenance
One-piece forged/cast body, internal parts are removable from the top. No need to disconnect pipelines for overhaul; just loosen the top bonnet to replace wearing parts, greatly cutting downtime and maintenance costs. Suitable for high-altitude, underground and large-bore sites.

2. Floating Ball Seal, Bidirectional Zero Leakage
Self-energized sealing by medium pressure — higher pressure ensures tighter sealing. Precision lapped ball and seats, soft seal model meets ANSI Class VI zero leakage with low operating torque.
3. Rigid One-piece Body
High-rigidity integral body resists deformation and cracking under high pressure and alternating temperatures. Full bore polished channel offers low flow resistance and no medium accumulation.
4. Dual Sealing Options
Standard PTFE soft seal for clean media at normal temperature; optional Stellite alloy hard seal for high-temperature, erosive harsh services like hot steam and micro-particle media.
5. Standard Flanged Ends
Built with GB/ASME standard flanges (standard RF face, optional RTJ face for high pressure), directly compatible with all API-standard pipelines for easy installation.
6. API-standard Safety Features
Standard blow-out proof stem, anti-static device and API 607 fire-safe design, with multi-layer packing seal, eliminating hidden dangers for flammable and explosive services.
Applications
API-standard pipelines in petrochemical, oil & gas gathering, power plants, coal chemical, urban heating, long-distance transmission, sewage treatment and metallurgy, requiring stable long-term running and easy inline maintenance.
Product Summary
This API top entry floating ball valve combines top-entry easy maintenance and floating ball tight sealing. It meets all API standards, features rigid body and reliable performance, making it a perfect choice for high-pressure, large-bore pipelines that are hard to shut down.
