High Pressure Gate Valves and Frac Components

Universal offers BSO (Ball Screw Operators) on most high-pressure gate valves. They are available with flanged ends in standard bore sizes from 4-1/16” through 7-1/16” in working pressures of 10,000 psi and 15,000 psi. Double acting hydraulic gate valves are also available.  

Reduced Torque

• Reduces torque as much as 50%
• 2 Heavy duty thrust bearings assist in further reducing overall torque

Valve Features

Full-Bore Thru-Conduit Design

• Maximizes valve service life
• Eliminates the collection of destructive particles

Floating Slab Gate and Seats

• “T” slotted gate allows the gate to float, reducing deflection and binding
• Produces a positive pressure energized seal
• Body pressure equalizes across the seat ring/body bushing, eliminating body erosion in the seat pockets

Metal-to-Metal Seals

• Body/bonnet interface, gate/seat ring/body bushing interfaces, body/body bushing interface
• Gate and seat are overlaid with Tungston Carbide
• Valve bodies and bonnets are forged steel

Metal-to-Metal Backseat

Long Life, Low Maintenance

• Simple routine maintenance program limits repairs, eases operation, protects against corrosion, and extends service life
• In-line Repairability
