FBV Inc. 16-Inch Class 600 Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve

The FBV Inc. 16-inch Class 600 trunnion mounted ball valve is a robust, high-pressure valve designed for demanding industrial applications such as oil and gas pipelines, petrochemical processing, and power generation. Manufactured in January 2018, this valve features a carbon steel body (A105) with an ENP-coated ball for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. The Devlon seats provide reliable sealing under extreme conditions, while the A182 F6a stem ensures strength and longevity. Key advantages include full bore design for minimal flow restriction, fire-safe certification to API 6FA, and compliance with ASME B16.34 and API 6D standards, offering superior performance over standard gate valves in terms of quick operation and tight shutoff. Benefits include low torque operation, bidirectional sealing, and suitability for high-pressure services up to 102.1 bar at -29°C and 50.2 bar at 150°C. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost compared to lower-class valves and the need for periodic maintenance in abrasive environments. Based on image analysis, the valve appears used with visible dust, minor surface wear, and no apparent damage, suggesting good operational condition. No parent/child assets are visible. For detailed specs, refer to FBV's official datasheet (available at fbvalve.com/resources). Estimated market value for a used unit in this condition is $8,000-$12,000 USD, based on comparable sales on industrial surplus sites like eBay and EquipNet.
