V-Port Ball Valves

Series VP-60 V-Port Ball Valves

Features:Ball Valves

  • VALTORC "VP-60" Series V-Port Ball Valves are ideal for achieving more precise control with the simplicity and sealing features of a ball valve.
  • We offer V-Port Ball Valves 1/2" - 4" in a 3-piece design and 1/2”- 6" flanged.
  • The standard "V" notch options are 30, 60 & 90.
  • While they are available as manual valves, we specialize in automating them to suit your particular control requirements.
  • V-Port Ball Valves offer better and more consistent control than traditional round ported ball valves.
  • We offer this valve with the control port cast and machined into the ball, not in the seat.
  • This allows for much better flow characteristics and eliminates the need to replace seats.

    the process (corrosion resistance, etc)

V-Seat & V-Slotted Characterized Seat Control Valves


We have a complete line of V-Port Ball Valves / V-seat and slotted seat control valves providing precision throttling control for a wide range of applications. As with our standard ball valves, V-characterized seated valves offer equal
percentage flow characteristics. The slotted seated valves have an inherent linear flow characteristic.

  • Simplicity - Very low maintenance costs compared to globe and segmented ball valves
  • Tight Shutoff - Exceeding Class VI and bubble-tight
  • High Rangeability - Repeatable control through 95% travel
  • Low Cost - Purchase price is substantially lower than competitive high pressure drop valve
  • Low weight - about 30% lighter than globe control valve
  • Compact Size - Leaves more room for additional field equipment
  • Shearing Action - Non-clogging control of fibers and solids
  • Low Flow Control - Cv as low as 0.07
  • Flexible CV -Interchangeable seat angles or slots
  • Erosion Resistant - Extra tough, hardened seat and ball
  • High Pressure Drop - Liquids up to 500 psi, steam up to 150 psi
  • High Temperature - Up to 1,000°F

A typical comparison for a 1" valve

The CV graph shows the range of flow for the standard port, 60°V and 30°V ball valves. The characterized V seats provide finer control than round port valves.
