Process Ball Valve

Swagelok® Ball and Quarter-Turn Plug Valves

Swagelok's ball valves and plug valves offer a comprehensive fluid shutoff solution for virtually any industry.

Ball Valves | Reliable shutoff valves that can be selected and configured for your application
Plug Valves | Economical and reliable shutoff solution with dependable low-torque operation

Valve selection is an important part of proper design and maintenance practices for industrial, piping, and instrumentation systems. Without the right valve for a specific application, operators could face improper or poor flow rate, increased downtime, and avoidable safety risks.

Ball and plug valves are typically selected during initial fluid system design. Throughout a fluid system’s life, maintenance technicians will usually replace components with the same type already found in the system, as per the specification. This makes it even more important to select the right valve from the beginning.

Swagelok ball valves control fugitive emissions and leakage and can be used in a wide range of applications, from general purpose to critical-service applications. They have been engineered for repeatable, leak-tight shutoff, have low overall cost of ownership, and include full-flow, one-piece instrumentation, three-piece process, trunnion-style, and multipurpose.

Swagelok quarter-turn instrument plug valves are an economical, reliable alternative to ball valves. The simple, compact design delivers full flow and positive shutoff and is available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and lightweight PFA.

But How Do You Make the Right Choice?

Choosing the right two-way ball valve when designing or updating your industrial system keeps it running safely and reliably. Learn how to use the STAMPED method to select the optimal Swagelok® 60 series ball valve for your application.
