Two-Piece Bolted Body Marine Ball Valve for Easy Maintenance in Seawater Systems
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with ISO9001 certified quality management, Shanghai Zhibang Valve is dedicated to providing robust and reliable fluid control solutions for the demanding marine industry. Our Two-Piece Bolted Body Marine Ball Valve is engineered specifically for seawater applications, where corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance are paramount. This valve design addresses the critical need for quick servicing without requiring the complete removal of the valve body from the pipeline, minimizing system downtime and operational costs for ship operators and offshore platforms.
Constructed for durability in harsh marine environments, this valve offers superior performance and longevity. The core advantage lies in its innovative two-piece bolted body construction.
- Effortless In-Line Maintenance: The bolted body allows the valve to be opened for inspection, seat replacement, or cleaning without disconnecting it from the piping system. This is a game-changer for hard-to-reach installations.
- Superior Seal Integrity: The bolted connection provides a robust, leak-proof seal under high pressure and vibration conditions commonly encountered at sea.
- Wide Material Compatibility: We offer this valve in premium materials like 316 stainless steel and naval bronze, selected for their exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion and biofouling.
- Versatile Actuation Options: Available with a standard lever handle for manual operation, or adaptable for gear operators and pneumatic/hydraulic actuators for remote or automated control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main advantage of a two-piece bolted body design over a one-piece or welded body?
A: The primary advantage is serviceability. The bolted body allows for the valve to be opened for internal inspection, cleaning, or part replacement (like seats) without cutting the pipe or removing the entire valve assembly. This significantly reduces maintenance time and cost.
Q2: Is this valve suitable for raw seawater service?
A: Yes, it is specifically designed for seawater systems. We recommend materials like 316 stainless steel or bronze for superior corrosion resistance against chlorides and other corrosive elements in seawater.
Q3: Can the valve be automated?
A: Absolutely. The valve is designed to be compatible with various pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators. The standard model can be easily adapted for automated control systems upon request.
Q4: What pressure classes are available?
A: Standard offerings include Class 150 (PN16) and Class 300 (PN25). For higher pressure requirements, customized designs can be explored based on your specific application data.
Q5: Are spare parts like seats and seals readily available?
A: Yes. As the manufacturer, we maintain an inventory of common spare parts. The two-piece design also makes identifying and replacing worn seals like PTFE seats straightforward.
Q6: Do you offer different end connection types?
A: Yes. The valve is available with flanged ends (RF, RTJ) or threaded ends (NPT, BSP). The choice depends on your existing pipeline configuration.
Q7: What is the typical lead time for an order?
A: Lead times vary based on order size, material, and specification. For standard configurations, we often have stock or shorter production cycles. We provide accurate lead time estimates with every quotation.
Q8: Is testing performed on the valves before shipment?
A> Yes. As part of our ISO9001 quality procedures, each valve undergoes rigorous pressure testing (shell test and seat test) to ensure it meets the specified performance standards before leaving our factory.
