VALVES AND ACCESSORIES Slim-line single isolation valves within a mono flange body, in gate, globe and ball valve styles, design to ASME B16.34, suitable for open-ended applications. Size range: DN 15-DN 50, full and reduced bore, ASME classes 150 - 2500. Body materials: carbon, low alloy and high alloy steels. Valve bodies with flange / flange or flange / threaded ends and soft or metal seated.

Scope This specification shall be used for single isolation valves used in non in-line applications (i.e. drain, vent and/or instrument branches) where an optimum compactness and minimum valve weight is required to minimise the bending moment on branch connections and standard face-to-face dimensions are not essential.
