Actuated Ball Valves - FB Series

Actuated ball valve assemblies for FB Series valves are offered with a wide range of actuator, solenoid, and limit switch options and accessories. The table below contains valve and actuator combinations only.  To add actuator options and accessories such as solenoids, limit switches and proximity sensors, see the Options and Accessories section below. 

FB Series Ball Valves

FB Series Multipurpose Ball Valves are designed for demanding applications.  With standard live-loaded PEEK seats, and robust stem and body seals, FB Series ball valves provide durability, low-actuation torque and leak-tight shut off at both high and low pressure in test stands, high pressure instrumenent and control panels, and many other process and instrumentation applications.

Actuator Options and Accessories

The actuated valve on the website include assemblies of valves and actuators only.  Below are instructions for adding actuator options, solenoids, and limit switches to actuators.  For assistance, contact your authorized SSP distributor or SSP Customer Service.

High and Low Temperature Actuators

SSP actuators are available for difficult high and low temperature applications.  The standard operating range for actuators contained on the site is -4 to 176° F (-20 to 80° C). For other operating ranges add the designator below to the part number: Example: AM15NO2HT

• HT   High temperature -10 to 300°F/350°F cyclical (-23 to 148°C/176°C)
• LT    Low temp -49 to 300°F/350°F cyclical (-45 to 148°C/176°C)
• SLT  Superlow temperature -67 to 300°F/350°F cyclical (-55 to 148°C/176°C)

Dual Mounting

Single valve actuation is standard.  Dual mount actuation (2-valves) is available for EB series size 42 and 43, FB Series size 36 and all TB Series ball valves only.  For more information about dual mount assemblies, contact your local authorized SSP distributor or SSP Customer Service.

Corrosion Resistant Housing

Anodized alumimum housings are standard. Contact SSP Customer Service of stainless steel housings or housings with other corrosion reisistant coatings. 

Customer-Specified Assemblies

SSP will provide actuated ball valve assemblies using customer-specified components. Customers can provide component for assembly, or SSP can source the required products from a wide range of manufacturers.

Solenoids

SSP offers solenoid valves with NAMUR style mounting for use in either double acting or spring return rotary actuators.  They are available in single coil, dual coil, or 3-position configurations (open centers, closed centers, or centers-in-pressure). Solenoids valves are available in compliance with NEMA 4, 4X, intrinsically safe and explosion proof environments.  Solenoids are available with wire lead and flexible conduit connections. Breather blocks, low voltage solenoids and other options are available.p>

Options include:

• Intrinsically safe and explosion proof
• High temp. FKM seals
• IP67 watertight kit
• Stainless steel body
• Lighted and molded DIN connectors
• Class H coils
• 3-way and 4-way adapter plates
• Dual coil and 3 position
• Low voltage option
• Many more.
