Parker ball valve is a flow control device that employs a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to manage the flow of liquid. It is typically used in upstream oil and gas production facilities (both onshore and offshore).
Features:
Parker HPBYB8FF is an inline ball valve designed for applications in the oil & gas, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and chemical industries to control the flow of gases, liquids, slurries or steam.- This Parker ball valve has a two-piece body design to reduce leakage and a straight-through flow path to minimise pressure drop.
- It comes with a packing nut that eases inline adjustment and a robust nylon handle to provide fracture resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is a ball valve ideal for?
A. Ball valves utilise a metal ball which has a hole bored through the center and is sandwiched between two seats to control the flow. These ball valves are capable of throttling gases & vapors and are suitable for low flow situations in hydrocarbon processing applications.
Q. Are Hi-Pro ball valve handles capable of withstanding direct exposure to fire without becoming inoperable, as per API607 standards?
A. Yes, Hi-Pro ball valve handles are made of stainless steel and capable of direct exposure. The valve can withstand direct exposure to fire, as described by API607 standards.
