Series 59 Full Port Ball Valves:
manual and automated valves for processes
requiring maximum flow area
Full Port ball valves are recommended for processes
requiring minimum restriction through piping, shutoff
valves, and other equipment. For example, pump inlet High cycle life stem seals
valves are often full port valves. Full port valves are also Standardized center
useful in systems handling slurries, viscous fluids and Full ANSI

fluids with residues, and where the capacity to pig lines is compliance
pad for actuators
desired.
!/4" - 2"Series 59 valves are rated to ANSI Class 600. 3"
and 4" valves are rated to ANSI Class 300. New, stronger
handle design.
Worcester offers a complete line of pneumatic and
electric automation packages for on-off or throttling
control including the Series 39 twin piston pneumatic Heavy duty
bolting and valve
actuator (brochure PB 302) and the Series 75 electric construction
actuator (brochure PB 730).
Series 59 full port valves are available in a fire-rated
configuration AF59 in sizes !?2",#?4", 1", 1 !?2", and 2". Stainless steel nameplate to meet MSS SP-25
Refer to brochure PB FZ. Flanged ANSI Class 150 and
300 full port valves are available in sizes !?2"-10". Refer to
brochures PB 8283 and PB 800.

*These are valve body pressure ratings, Seat selection may derate the valve. Example: a 1" carbon steel Series 59 valve has a rating of 1480 psi at
70°F. Selection of reinforced TFE seats operating at fluid temperature of 200°F limits allowable pressure in the valve to 1000 psi.
