	Series 44 Ball Valves A quantum advance in ball valve durability, cycle life, leak tightness and automation. Flowserve Worcester Controls Series 44 three-piece ball valves, for many years the most respected ball valve design in the industry, are now better than ever. A major research, design, and testing program brings you a new valve, designed to ANSI B16.34 specifications with advanced seal technology and body mount bracket design. This means a very strong, tough valve that can handle pressure and unforeseen piping strains with a stem seal that extends operational cycle life and a standardized overall design that keeps parts inventory to a minimum.
	Series 45 Ball Valves Compact, Large Diameter, Three-piece Ball Valves. Substantially Reduced Installation and Maintenance Costs. For OEM equipment and packaged piping systems, Worcester Controls Series 45 ball valves provide the best performance for the least installed cost in the 21/2"–6" size range. Flanges are an integral part of the valve design, providing savings in flanges, nuts, bolts and labor. Three piece construction also means that the valve functions as both valve and union. This is a valuable feature in welded piping systems where line breaks are required.
	Series 59 Ball Valves Full-Port Ball Valves. Manual and automated valves for processes requiring maximum flow area. Full-port ball valves are recommended for processes requiring minimum restriction through piping, shutoff valves, and other equipment. For example, pump inlet valves are often full-port valves. Full-port valves are also useful in systems handling slurries, viscous fluids and fluids with residues, and where the capacity to pig lines is desired.

Directional Ball Valves

	Series D44/D4 Ball Valves Diverter Ball Valve - Separate Seats and Body Seals, One Flow Direction. The diverter valve is designed to accept media through a bottom inlet port and direct it out either of two outlet ports. It is commonly used for alternately diverting flow from a single source to two different lines, for example dumping operations in which one outlet permits media to flow from a common source to the process while the other outlet alternately dumps or recirculates excess media. 3-Way Ball Valve - One Piece Seat and Body Seal, Bi-Directional Flow. The 3-way ball valve provides greater flexibility in operation. Constructed with a one piece seat and body seal, the 3-way valve permits flow in both directions. It can function as a selector valve, alternately accepting media from either of two inlet sources and directing through a single outlet. Or, it may be used as a true 3-way valve, accepting media from two inlet sources for alternate discharge through either of two outlet ports. For example, in a pressurized line or system, the inlet port pressurizes or fills the system. The valve is then operated through its travel to allow the pressurized contents to be discharged through the second outlet port with the original outlet port now functioning as the inlet.
	Series D51 Ball Valves A Simple, Dependable Way to Divert Flow to Two Pipe Lines with Tight Shutoff to Either Line. Worcester’s Series D51 is a standardized line of flanged diverter ball valves in sizes 2", 3", 4", 6", and 8" with ANSI Class 150 flanges. D51 diverter valves are designed to accept media through a bottom inlet port and direct it out either of two outlet ports. They are commonly used for alternately diverting flow from a single source to two different lines; for example, dumping operations in which one outlet permits media to flow from a common source to the process while the other outlet alternately dumps or recirculates excess media.
	Series 18/19 Ball Valves Upgrade the efficiency of your fluid diverting, filling and distribution systems through piping simplification, automation and safety. Flowserve Worcester Controls’ Series 18 and 19 multi-way valves are designed to improve the efficiency and productivity of your process systems with up to 5 ports, slip-on flanges, multiple seat and body materials, standard or full port, and optional pneumatic and electric automation and anti-fugitive emission design.
