Ball Valves

High-Performance Ball Valve Solutions

At Farris Industrial Valve Corporation, we engineer and manufacture high performance ball valves designed to meet the demanding requirements of energy, petrochemical, offshore, and industrial process applications. Built with precision engineering and quality manufacturing practices, our ball valves deliver reliable shutoff, efficient flow control, and long service life in challenging operating environments.

Our ball valve range is available in various configurations, including one piece, two piece, and three piece designs, with floating and trunnion mounted options to accommodate different pressure ratings, flow requirements, and application needs.

Key Performance Features

Optimized Flow Performance
Designed with efficient flow passages to minimize pressure loss and provide smooth media control for improved system performance.

Enhanced Safety Design
Available with safety features such as fire safe construction, anti static designs, and compatibility with emergency shutdown (ESD) systems for critical applications.

Comprehensive Testing
Each valve undergoes strict inspection and pressure testing procedures to verify sealing performance, operational reliability, and compliance with required standards.

Durable Material Selection
Manufactured with carefully selected materials, coatings, and configurations to withstand demanding environments, including high pressure, high temperature, and corrosive service conditions.

Reliable Long Term Operation
Supported by quality assurance processes and engineered for durability, our ball valves provide dependable performance throughout their service life.

Floating Ball Valves

Precision for low-to-medium pressure applications.

Our floating ball design utilizes upstream pressure to press the ball against the downstream seat, ensuring a bubble-tight, positive seal. This design is ideal for applications requiring compact dimensions and high-cycle reliability.

  • Size Range: 1/2″ – 12″

  • Pressure Classes: ASME 150# to 600#

Trunnion Mounted Ball Valves

Enhanced stability for high-pressure and large-bore service.

For larger scale operations, our trunnion-mounted valves feature mechanical anchoring at both the top and bottom of the ball. This fixed-axis design significantly reduces operating torque and prevents seat wear under extreme pressures.

  • Size Range: 2″ – 36″

  • Pressure Classes: ASME 150# to 2500#

Specialized Material Selection

We specialize in working with high-grade alloys to ensure your infrastructure survives the toughest conditions:

  • Carbon & Stainless Steel: For standard and cryogenic service.

  • Exotic Alloys: Hastelloy, Titanium, and Inconel for severe corrosion resistance.

  • Forged & Cast Options: Tailored to your specific weight and strength requirements.
