The ARI FABA Plus ANSI is a high-quality, bellow-sealed industrial globe valve for steam, water, and other fluids, known for its maintenance-free operation, featuring a double-wall bellow seal, fine-threaded stem, and options for ANSI flanged connections (like Class 150 or 300), offering robust control and isolation in demanding applications like power, chemical processing, and district heating, with materials from carbon steel to stainless steel.
Key Features & ANSI Compatibility
- Type: Globe Valve (Stop or Regulating) for isolation or throttling.
- Bellows Seal: Double-wall design for leak-tight, maintenance-free service, with high cycle life.
- Connections: Available with ANSI Class 150 or 300 flanges, plus socket weld or threaded ends.
- Materials: Carbon Steel (ASTM A105), Stainless Steel, Nodular Iron, Cast Iron.
- Plug: V-port regulating plug with marginal seat, often stellited for durability, or soft-seated (PTFE).
- Operation: Non-rising handwheel, with options for actuators (pneumatic/electric).
- Applications: Steam, hot water, process water, oil, chemical media in power plants, HVAC, and industrial processes.
Common ANSI Configurations
- ARI FABA-Plus 049 ANSI: A specific model featuring screwed sockets or socket weld ends, often in Class 300.
- ANSI Flanged Versions: Available for various classes (e.g., 150) with flanged bodies in straight-through or angle patterns.
In essence, the "ANSI" in ARI FABA Plus indicates the availability of valves designed to meet American National Standards Institute flange dimensions and pressure classes for North American markets, complementing their standard European (PN) offerings.
