BROEN BALLOMAX® Floating Ball Valves

Brand: Broen
BROEN BALLOMAX®, floating ball valves are designed specifically for natural gas distribution systems and are the best choice when it comes to steel ball valves.
 
All floating ball valves feature an all-welded body with no potential leak path. BROEN BALLOMAX® Valves are long-lasting and maintenance-free.
 
Three Different Styles:
 
Pipeline Style:  The BROEN best-seller with endless configurations to fit most requirements
 
Premium Style:  High-end valve made with extra-strong forged components. Short-pattern design is ideal for metering and regulating stations.
 
Utility Style:  Cost-effective short pattern flanged end ball valve. Ideal to replace plug and iron body valves.

Features

  • All welded body, floating ball valves
  • Manufactured from the same pipe material as your pipeline, they can be used in below ground or above ground applications
  • Valves come in the most comprehensive range in the industry with a vast variety of features: all sizes, with all options of end connections and operators, short and long pattern, with concave balls or straight balls, either regular port or full port
  • All valves serial numbered for full traceability
  • All valves tested per API 6D
  • Key features:
    • Pressure classes: 285 PSI (ANSI 150), 500 PSI, 740 PSI (ANSI 300)
    • 304 Stainless Steel Balls and Stem on all valves; Carbon steel body
    • Locking Plate with POWERSTOPS™ (600 ft/lbs)
    • Seats of 25% Carbonized PTFE (Teflon™) (G-453) rated to -20F service

Why Choose BROEN BALLOMAX® Floating Ball Valves

Value Elements

  • Leak-Resistant Construction: Fully welded carbon steel valve bodies eliminate potential body-joint leak paths, supporting reliable natural gas isolation in aboveground and underground distribution systems.

  • Maintenance-Free Operation: Designed for long-term service without routine lubrication, helping reduce maintenance requirements and operating costs for natural gas utilities.

  • Reliable Sealing Performance: Stainless steel ball and stem components, combined with carbon-filled PTFE seats, provide dependable shut-off performance in natural gas distribution applications.

  • Enhanced Operational Safety: Anti-blowout stem design, redundant stem sealing and POWERSTOPS™ help prevent stem-related leaks and damage from over-torquing.

  • Flexible Installation Options: Available in regular and full-port configurations, with various end connections and operator options to accommodate different gas pipeline requirements.

  • Quality Assurance and Traceability: Every valve is tested per API 6D and individually serialized, supporting quality verification and asset tracking for Canadian gas utilities.

Comparison vs. Next Best Alternative

  • Compared to Traditional Plug Valves: Quarter-turn operation and maintenance-free design eliminate routine lubrication requirements, simplifying operation and reducing ongoing maintenance.

  • Reduced Leak Potential: Fully welded construction eliminates body-joint leak paths found in conventional multi-piece valve designs.

  • Improved Long-Term Reliability: Stainless steel internal components and durable PTFE seats provide reliable sealing performance in demanding natural gas distribution environments.

  • Greater Application Flexibility: Multiple pressure classes, port configurations and connection options allow for easier integration into existing steel gas pipeline systems.

  • Simplified Asset Management: Individual serial numbers and API 6D testing provide traceability and documented quality assurance.

Where Do I Use This Product and Why?

  • Natural Gas Distribution Networks: Provides reliable on/off isolation for steel natural gas distribution pipelines, helping utilities safely control gas flow.

  • Underground Gas Pipelines: Fully welded construction reduces potential leak paths, making these valves well suited for buried natural gas infrastructure.

  • Aboveground Gas Installations: Durable carbon steel construction and multiple connection options allow integration into aboveground natural gas piping systems.

  • Metering and Regulator Stations: Compact configurations provide reliable gas isolation where installation space and accessibility are important.

  • Pipeline Upgrades and Valve Replacements: A practical alternative to traditional plug and iron-body valves, offering maintenance-free operation and improved sealing reliability.
