Compatible with your applications

Photography-Valves-131-217kbGB series ball valves are designed to perform in harsh environments and in applications with aggressive media, and there are a variety of available material and construction options that allow design engineers to achieve the
compatibility and longevity required. The GB series comes standard in the Swagelok dual-certified 316/316L stainless steel material, and the following alloy materials are also available: 6-Moly, Alloy 2507, Alloy 625, Alloy 825, and Alloy C-276. With PEEK seats and seals, the GB valve is compatible with a variety of system media.

The GB series valve design aligns with most customer specifications, reducing procurement and inventory costs. It can be configured for sour gas service with materials of construction selected in accordance to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156. All GB series ball valves are backed by the Swagelok
Limited Lifetime Warranty.


Optimized for safety and reliability

Photography-Valves-135-265kbDesigned to withstand proof testing of up to 1.5 times the maximum rated pressure, the GB series is configured in either a two- or three-piece construction, with a crimped, mechanically locked end screw design to avoid accidental disassembly and increase safety. Available integral Swagelok tube fitting end connections reduce both the number of potential leak points and the risk of improper assembly.
