FORCE 1-Piece Floating Ball Valves
FORCE
FORCE 1-piece floating ball valves are designed for compact, reliable shutoff in general service applications where simplicity and durability are critical. The single-body construction eliminates potential leak paths while maintaining structural strength for consistent performance in low to moderate pressure systems.
The floating ball design uses line pressure to energize the seats, ensuring tight sealing without complex internal components. This provides dependable shutoff across a wide range of operating conditions while minimizing maintenance requirements.
With a compact footprint and robust construction, these valves are ideal for installations where space is limited and long-term reliability is required.

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
Why the FORCE 1-PC Floater Performs Where It Counts
SIMPLIFIED DESIGN WITH REDUCED LEAK PATHS
The one-piece body eliminates body joint connections, reducing potential leak points and improving overall system integrity. This results in more reliable long-term performance with fewer maintenance concerns.
DEPENDABLE SHUTOFF USING LINE PRESSURE
The floating ball design uses upstream pressure to press the ball against downstream seats, ensuring consistent sealing. This allows the valve to maintain tight shutoff without complex mechanisms.
COMPACT INSTALLATION IN SPACE-CONSTRAINED SYSTEMS
The smaller footprint makes these valves ideal for tight installations where larger multi-piece valves are not practical. This supports efficient system layout and design flexibility.
LOW MAINTENANCE AND LONG SERVICE LIFE
With fewer internal components and a simple design, the valve reduces wear points and maintenance requirements. This improves uptime and lowers overall operating cost.
