Why Choose the GWC Model TW601 Floating Ball Valve
Why Choose the GWC Model TW601 Floating Ball Valve
Value Elements
- Fire-Safe Design
- Fire-safe construction helps support safer operation in critical natural gas infrastructure where equipment reliability matters.
- Blow-Out Proof Stem
- The blow-out proof stem is designed to help retain the stem under pressure, adding an important layer of safety for high-pressure installations.
- Durable Delrin Seat
- The Delrin seat provides a strong sealing surface for high-pressure use, making the valve well suited for applications where seat strength is a priority.
Comparison vs. Next Best Alternative
- Higher Pressure Capability
- Many competing alternatives are rated around 2000 WOG. The TW601’s 6000 WOG rating gives customers more confidence in higher-pressure applications.
- Stronger Seat Material for Demanding Service
- Compared with PTFE seats commonly used in lower-pressure alternatives, the TW601’s Delrin seat makes it a stronger option for high-pressure natural gas use.
- Better Valve Position Security
- The TW601 offers a more secure locking design than many comparable alternatives, helping support safer field operation and control.
Where Do I Use This Product and Why?
- High-Pressure Natural Gas Meter Sets
- Use the TW601 where compact isolation is needed on high-pressure meter set piping.
- Stations of Various Sizes
- The valve is suitable for station applications that require reliable shutoff in a small, threaded or socket-weld valve design.
- Utility and Industrial Gas Applications
- A good fit for installations where safe isolation, pressure capability, and secure valve control are required.
- Locations Requiring Lockable Isolation
- Use it where operators need to control access to the valve position, especially in exposed or public-facing installations.
