In the Gemini Valve tradition, the 98 Series wafer style CF8M (316) stainless steel full port ball valves combines the efficient use of materials with application features that offer optimum value for many industrial valve applications.

By installing a 98 Series valve between a pair of ANSI 150# or 300# Class raised face flanges the valve becomes a conventional three piece ball valve that meets ANSI B16.34 specifications for the rating of the flanges used. Not only does this help to minimize the cost, it also reduces the weight and space requirements over conventional flanged end valves.

The 98 Series are equipped with a conventional square drive valve stem that can be operated with a manual lever or automated with either electric or pneumatic actuators. Automation of the 98 Series valves is achieved through the use of a unique mounting system that assures rigid and precise coupling of the actuator to the valve. This strong, compact, fully machined assembly allows the reaction torque to be resisted independent of the assembly bolts, thereby eliminating the common problem of the bolts loosening during service.

Traditional automated valve accessories are available as well as a variety of flanges in styles for welded or threaded connection. Most options are available from stock through our Service Centers. Please consult the factory or refer to the 98 Series Accessory Page for further details.
