Low-Pressure. Simple Installation. Lightweight.

Butt Weld Shut-Off Valve

Hansen low pressure drop refrigerant shut-off valves are designed to be butt-welded directly to steel piping, thereby eliminating potential leaky flanges or threaded joints and simplifying installation. Cast steel bodies are lightweight, yet have substantial wall thickness to overcome corrosion potential.

The cast steel body is rigid, reducing the potential for seat leakage due to flexing of the valve body under abnormal conditions. The “heart” of Hansen shut-off valves is the patented no-leak seal-plus-stempacking design. This seal design is used exclusively on Hansen shut-off valves and virtually eliminates stem seal leakage.
  • Globe and angle valves available
  • Low pressure drop design
  • Interchangeable handwheel or seal cap
  • Teflon seat disc
  • Also available as Hand Expansion Valve

Advantages

Compared to threaded valves, Hansen welding valves eliminate the chance of future leaks at pipe threads. In addition, a butt weld pipe-to-valve body joint eliminates the inherent weakness and corrosion vulnerability of the threaded portion of pipe immediately adjacent to a screwed valve body or flange.

Compared to ball valves, Hansen welding valves have no threaded or flanged-gasket pipe joints. Hansen valves also will not open or close so rapidly as to cause severe pipe shock due to sudden change in liquid velocity. In addition, ball valve stem packing typically cannot be replaced while the valve is in a pressurized line. The stem packing on these Hansen valves can be replaced while the valve is in a pressurized line. Also, dirt or damage to ball valve Teflon seats cannot be overcome by greater stem closing forces, an advantage of Hansen valves.
