Lubricated Taper Plug Valve
Bliss Plug Valves provide dependable isolation and positive shut-off across a wide range of temperatures, pressures and media. Built from high-quality alloys and precision machined for minimal leakage, they are suited to Oil & Gas, petrochemical, power and general industrial systems across USA.
Where Lubricated Plug Valves Outperform Ball and Gate Valves
Lubricated plug valves are typically specified when process conditions damage soft-seated ball valves or where frequent cycling accelerates seat wear.
Common Reasons Engineers Specify Plug Valves
- Abrasive or solids-containing media
- FCC slurry and catalyst systems
- Cement and drilling applications
- Polymerizing hydrocarbons
- High-temperature thermal cycling
- Emergency shutdown systems
- High-pressure gas isolation
- Pipeline pigging isolation
- Refinery turnaround applications
- Space-constrained skid installations
Unlike soft-seated ball valves, lubricated plug valves use metal-to-metal sealing that resists thermal degradation, seat erosion, and particulate damage.
