Robust Flow Control for Critical Applications

FZV Lubricated Plug Valves are designed with a cylindrical or tapered plug and a specialized lubrication system. This design allows pressurized sealant to be injected directly between the plug face and body seat, creating a renewable, bubble-tight seal even if the seating surfaces sustain minor damage from abrasive media.

Backed by our comprehensive manufacturing capabilities—including advanced machining, precision welding, and rigorous valve testing—each unit guarantees exceptional durability, ease of operation, and extended service life in the harshest environments.

  • In-Line Maintenance: Restore sealing integrity without removing the valve from the pipeline.
  • Metal-to-Metal Seating: Inherently fire-safe design capable of handling high temperatures.
  • Protected Surfaces: Seating surfaces are not exposed to the line fluid when in the open position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries regarding our lubricated plug valve solutions.

How often does a lubricated plug valve require sealant injection?
The frequency of lubrication depends entirely on the application's operating conditions, including pressure, temperature, and media corrosiveness or abrasiveness. For critical services or high-cycle applications, regular scheduled maintenance is recommended to ensure optimal sealing and ease of operation.
Can these valves handle abrasive media like slurries?
Yes. Lubricated plug valves are exceptionally well-suited for abrasive media. The seating surfaces are protected from the flow when the valve is fully open, and the injectable sealant can fill minor scratches or wear, restoring a bubble-tight seal even if slight damage occurs over time.
What materials are available for the valve body and plug?
FZV manufactures plug valves in a wide array of materials, including standard Carbon Steel (WCB, LCC), Stainless Steels (CF8M), Duplex/Super Duplex, and special alloys like Inconel and Monel. Plugs are typically treated with hard facings such as ENP (Electroless Nickel Plating) or Tungsten Carbide for enhanced wear resistance.
Are FZV plug valves fire-safe certified?
Yes, due to their inherently robust metal-to-metal seating design, our lubricated plug valves meet standard fire-safe requirements (such as API 6FA / API 607) providing reliable shut-off during emergency high-temperature situations.
