Design BV500 eplugt Rotary Eccentric

Plug Valve
The Design BV500 eplug rotary control valve controls
a broad range of industrial applications, providing effi-
cient throttling operation. The flanged valve (figure 1)
features streamlined flow passages, rugged metal trim
components, and a stepped seat ring. With these
components, the Design BV500 rotary control valve
combines globe valve ruggedness with the efficiency
of a rotary valve. Matched with a Fisher Type 1052
spring and diaphragm rotary throttling actuator, the
Design BV500 rotary control valve dependably con-
trols fluids in many process industries.
