Val-Matic Valve and Manufacturing Corporation’s newly acquired QuadroSphere® Ball Valve line is a leader in applications where typical trunnion ball valves experience problems. The unique contoured ball features four recessed surfaces creating additional flow paths allowing the flow and particulates to move freely above, below and around the sides of the ball when moving from closed to open position. Seat ring contact to the ball has minimal contact area, which reduces wear and operating torques, due to less friction.
