Lubricated Plug Valve

ALIS Valves offers Lubricated Plug Valves for industrial applications requiring reliable flow isolation, tight shut-off and smooth valve operation. These valves feature a tapered or cylindrical plug with a flow passage that rotates to open or close the valve. A specially designed lubricant is injected between the plug and body sealing surfaces to reduce friction, support smooth operation and help improve sealing performance. The lubricant also helps minimize wear between contact surfaces, making these valves suitable for compatible applications involving demanding pressure and operating conditions.

Lubricated Plug Valves are suitable for applications in oil and gas facilities, refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical processing industries and industrial pipeline systems. Depending on the valve design and material specifications, they can be used with compatible liquids and gases across a range of operating conditions. Important selection factors include operating pressure, temperature, process media, valve size, plug and body materials, lubricant compatibility, sealing requirements and end connection type. Selecting the appropriate Lubricated Plug Valve helps support dependable shut-off, reduced operating friction and reliable performance under the intended working conditions.
