Product Description
An extended stem valve is a standard industrial valve modified with a longer stem or bonnet to allow the operator to control it from a safe and accessible distance, typically for applications involving high temperatures, underground installations, or confined spaces where the valve body is difficult or impossible to reach. These extensions are common in ball valves and butterfly valves and can also be used in gate valves to help manage insulation thickness and keep the stem seal from extreme temperatures.
-
Increased Accessibility:
The primary advantage is the ability to operate valves in hard-to-reach areas without having to directly approach the valve body.
-
Enhanced Safety:
Operators can maintain a safe distance from hazardous environments, such as those involving high temperatures or other dangerous conditions.
-
Visual Indication:
The extended stem can provide a visual cue of the valves open or closed position, which aids in monitoring and control.
-
Adaptability:
Extended stems can accommodate thick insulation on pipes, preventing interference with the handwheel or actuator.
-
Improved Sealing:
In high-temperature applications, the extended bonnet moves the valve stem packing further away from the hot fluid, reducing wear and tear and improving sealing performance.
