What is an FLS Type Gate Valve?

FLS Gate Valves are valves that incorporate a slab gate to block fluid flow. Because of this, these valves should be operated either fully open or fully closed.

FLS Valves used in oilfield applications are for the control of oil and gas media such as hydrocarbons, cement for cementing operations, manifolds for well control or fracturing operations and production and frac wellhead trees.

Applications

The gate for the Type FLS Manual Slab Gate Valve - 410 SST Hardfaced - Super Trim online at HeshkaOil.com is designed for critical applications including sour service and fracturing operations.

Design

The valve is bi-directional in nature and includes metal to metal sealing between the gate and seat interface. There are two spring-loaded, pressure energized, non-elastomeric seals between each seat and the valve body. These seals provide low pressure sealing assist as well as provide a barrier to keeping particulate matter from entering the valve body cavity.

Maintenance and Service

Easily field serviceable, utilization of the stem to bonnet backseat feature allows for the replacement of the stem packing, bearings, bearing races and grease fittings all with pressure still in the valve ensuring production can continue.

Commonality of parts across some sizes and pressure ranges reduces inventory and gives greater flexibility during the maintenance and service of these valves.
