 Ball Valves
Ball valves perform a quarter turn on/off or modulating function. A flow-controlling ball located within the body of the valve contains a hole through its center along one axis, which connects the inlet and outlet ports of the body. The ball itself is held in place by, and rotates 90º within, PTFE seats. These provide permanent lubrication and keep the valve "bubble-tight." They are backed by elastomeric cushions, which provide pressure against the ball and at the same time compensate for wear. Elastomer O-rings are used for stem and carrier seals to prevent leakage to the atmosphere. In the open position, the flow is straight through with minimal pressure drop as long as the porting through the ball is the same size as the inside diameter of the pipe.

Sleeved Plug Valves
Tufline sleeved plug valves are non-lubricated quarter-turn valves that achieve sealing through the use of a compressible sleeve as a sealing member. In many applications they operate virtually maintenance free for decades.
Tufline Valves are used for on/off and throttling service in demanding process applications with media temperatures ranging from -20°F to 600°F. Standard sizes from 1/2" to 24", ANSI classes 150,300 & 600. Body & plug materials range from ductile iron and stainless steel to the most exotic alloys.
Ball Valves
Xomox's process ball valves are specifically designed to provide superior emissions control. The patented S2 live loaded spherical stem seal offers unparalled stem sealing capability and maximum protection against stem leakage due to side loading. Documented performance, under actual service conditions, of more than 3 million cycles without measurable stem leakage.
Lined Valves
Tufline lined valves and accessories use melt processable fluorocarbons such as FEP and PFA. The melt processibility allows the liner to be locked into dovetails, locking grooves, and locking holes in the casting. Consequently, liner collapse and blow out are minimized. Additionally, PFA and FEP liners are inherently less porous than PTFE.
Butterfly Valves
Xomox offers a large range of butterfly valves, from resilient seated, to high performance to severe service, to handle virtually any process application.
