ANSI 150# Flanges 1/2" to 8" Size

Wafer Ball Valves are 150# rated. They are shorter flange to flange dimension, lighter weight, smaller size and less expensive as split body ball valves. These valves are preferred by OEMs like Skid Builders for those reasons. Traditional piping specifications require a flanged 150# ball valve to have the same Face to Face dimension as a Gate Valve. However, gate valves leak on average 3 - 5%, not a positive shutoff like a ball valve.
