Typical Applications

Fire safe ball valves are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, fuel storage and marine applications. They are selected for systems carrying flammable liquids or gases where maintaining isolation during and after a fire is particularly important.

Typical duties include fuel lines, tank farms, gas processing systems, refinery pipelines, chemical transfer lines and other high-risk process areas. Their fire-safe design helps limit leakage if the valve’s soft seats or seals are damaged by extreme heat.
