Balon has eliminated the need for grease fittings, lube channels, and regular lubrication, versus other designs.

The Multi-Seal seat design has given impetus to the development of an overall valve which embodies several design improvements.

Stems are backseated and therefore blowout proof. And they provide metal-to-metal backup sealing in the event of a fire. This secondary metal-to-metal sealing is also provided internally behind the seat area

Bolts and glands and complicated stem assemblies are totally absent in the Balon valve to assure a simpler, more trouble-free valve. Hazards associated with bolted stem retainers and packing adjustment screws or bolts have been eliminated. Even the stops are internal and give dual precise stopping support during opening or closing. The stem area is grease-packed and protected by a plastic weather guard to shield the vital area from external elements.

 

 

Four decades of valve research, design, and manufacturing experience have gone into developing a needle valve for the new millennium.

The Balon needle valve is the result of many design inputs directed at a total solution to needle valve problems, rather than at one or two isolated and limited variations of outdated concepts. This synergistic approach provides a total product that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Perennial problems which have plagued needle valve users - such as premature seat failure and consequent leakage, internal contamination and wear, bonnet and stem blow-out hazards, and generally abbreviated service life - have all been attacked in the design of the Balon needle valve.

Balon?s reputation for quality and performance is carried through to this new design concept, and the result is a fresh new option for the valve user. This is no "me too" product. This is the ultimate refinement of the valve art.

 

After years of intensive, painstaking development and testing, Balon has breathed new life into the check valve art.

The Balon design, a total departure from the tired design of commonly available check valves, incorporates an innovative Disc and Seat Module. With this innovation, Balon has been able to eliminate hazardous screwed and bolted bonnets.
