BALON

TRUNNION-MOUNTED BALL VALVE

FULL-RANGE SEALING WITH MULTI-SEAL
Most trunnion-mounted ball valves seal poorly at low pressure. By contrast, Balon's Multi-Seal seats provide multiple sealing surfaces for full-range sealing: Nylon for low-pressure sealing, Acetal for high-pressure sealing. Multi-Seal is standard in every valve.

BLOWOUT-PROOF STEM WITH SAFETY SHEAR GROOVE
To prevent hazardous blowout, the Balon Series T stem is internally loaded and back-seated. And, as an added precaution each stem includes Balon's safety shear groove. If the stem should be inadvertently sheared, breakage occurs at a point located a safe distance from the pressure zone. 

LOAD-BEARING BLOCKS
Balon has done away with the externally inserted lower trunnion, a hazardous leak path, a maintenance nuisance, and a blowout point. The Balon Series T incorporates load-bearnig blocks. Even at maximum pressure, the blocks bear the load uniformly and reduce lateral stress, keeping the ball centered. Balon has eliminated the premature bearing failure associated with traditional trunnion valve designs.

DOUBLE-BLOCK-AND-BLEED AND SECONDARY SEALING 
Every Balon Series T includes a bleed fitting for double-block-and-bleed, and every valve allows grease injection for secondary sealing.

EXCLUSIVE BALON MANUFACTURED GEARBOX
Balon has advanced gearbox safety and performance by incorporating rugged features and upgraded materials. And, as with every component of our valves, the Balon Gear operator is 100% made in North America by Balon Corporation.

LOCKING DEVICE ON EVERY VALVE
Balon Series T valves, like all Balon gear operated valves, feature standard locking devices in all sizes. 

FIRE-TESTED AS STANDARD
With Balon, there is no need to ask for "fire safe." Every Balon Series T ball valve is fire-safe and tested...as standard.
