One-piece Instrumentation Ball Valves BO Series
Instrumentation Ball Valves One-piece BO Series, with a working pressure of up to 3000 psig (207 bar), feature a one-piece body and ball-stem construction. These valves offer no dead space, a top-loaded design for in-line adjustment, and a live-loaded feature that enhances thermal cycle performance and compensates for packing wear. Available with manual, pneumatic, and electric actuators, these valves come in a variety of connection types and sizes. Options include 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, 6-way, and 7-way configurations, with on-off, switching, and crossover functionalities.

PFA, UHMWPE Packing Seat
The working temperature of UHMWPE packing seat should not be higher than 150°F (65°C).
Application : CNG-Powered Vehicle (NGV) and Fueling System Solutions
Valves Installation Conditions Note:
1. To prevent seat leakage, packing adjustment may be required periodically during the service life of the valve.
2. A higher initial actuation torque may happen to the valves that have not been cycled for a period of time.
3. Before installation, instrumentation ball valves exposed to dynamic temperature conditions may lose their initial packing load. Stem packing adjustment should be required.
Cleaning and Packaging:
FC-01: Standard cleaning and packaging for general industrial procedures.
FC-02: Special cleaning and packaging for wetted system components to ensure compliance with product cleaning requirement of ASTM G93 Level C
◎ SilcoNert 2000 (Sulfinert) Coating: Wetted metal components SilcoNert 2000 (Sulfinert) coated.
Vent Port Options
The maximum working pressure for vented valves is 500 psig (34.4 bar).
Straight-pattern Valves
A vent hole in the side of the valve body makes the downstream port vent to atmosphere when the valve is closed.
Angle-pattern and 3-way Valves
A vent hole in the side of the valve body makes the bottom port vent to atmosphere when the valve is closed.
Welded Vent Port Connections
A FITOK tube fitting or a tube stub welded to the vent port is available for stainless steel vented valves.
Locking Device
Locking Device 1 can lock BO series valves with 90° or 180° rotation handle, locking hole diameter is 0.21 in (5.2 mm);
To order a ball valve with locking device 1, add -LH to the valve ordering number.
Example: BOSS-FL6-07-LH/BOSS-FL6-07-3L-LH
Locking Device 2 can lock BO series valves with 90°,180°, or 360° rotation handle, locking hole diameter is 0.34 in (8.7 mm);
To order a ball valve with locking device 2, add -LK to the valve ordering number.
Example: BOSS-ML6-05-LK/BOSS-ML6-05-5L-LK
Bottom Screw Panel Mounting Options
Mounting Dimensions
The are not available on angle-pattern valves, 3-way valves, 6-way valves and 7-way valves bottom screw panel mounting options.

Ball Valve Component Animation for one piece Body
BO Series Ball Valve can be configured to provide directional flow, as well. In this graphic, flow enters the valve from the bottom and is directed to either the left or the right. The handle of this valve will also indicate direction of flow. These valves are available in three and up to seven ports should multiple directions be required for the application. Dependent upon valve type, these valves may have a shut-off position, as well.
Directional Flow: Multi-Port Ball
