Demonstrated Performance
Vee-Ball control valves undergo extensive testing for proof of performance. The PlantWeb™
dynamic performance lab enables thorough product testing and analysis.
Added-Value Features
Minimal Deadband - A patented, taper key
ball-to-shaft connection (see ) eliminates
lost motion and minimizes deadband. During
maintenance procedures, this arrangement proves
to be more reliable and easier to assemble than
conventional connections.
Heavy-Duty (HD) Seal - The Fisher patented
heavy-duty ball seal (see ) offers exceptional wear
and pressure drop performance over a wide range of
steam, gas, liquid, and slurry applications. The metal
seal is pressure-balanced, which reduces operating
torques and allows higher pressure drops without
excessive wear.
Easy Seal Replacement and Inspection - Once the
valve is removed from the pipeline, just remove
two screws and the seal assembly (see ) is easily
extracted from the body. No need to disassemble the
valve body or remove the actuator. Metal and soft
seals are fully interchangeable.
Taper key provides solid ball-to-shaft
connection.
6 | Fisher® Vee-Ball™ Rotary Control Valves
HD metal seal fights off scale
and sludge buildup; inspects
and replaces easily since it
requires no adjustment.

Trim Interchangeability - Across the Vee-Ball line,
size-for-size, trim components remain the same
regardless of body style. This reduces parts inventory
requirements and costs. It also simplifies maintenance
training and procedures.
Better Linkage Protection - Integral mounting of
positioner protects linkages.
Fisher® Vee-Ball™ Rotary Control Valves | 7
Available in ceramic
and R30006 cobalt
alloy (Alloy 6), as well
as chromium plated
CG8M SST materials,
Micro-Notch balls
allow extremely small
flow rates.
Rotary attenuator
reduces liquid
cavitation and
aerodynamic noise.
Superior Bearings - To enhance the performance
and service life of the valve, a patented, low-friction,
high-load bearing system fully supports both drive
and follower shafts. To reduce maintenance costs, this
bearing system is designed to easily drop into place.
Characterized V-Notch Ball Design - The V-notch
ball provides positive shearing action for fibrous
flows and creates an inherently equal percentage
flow characteristic. It has been specially contoured to
maximize capacity and enhance seal life and shutoff
integrity. The Vee-Ball valve offers high capacity with
its unrestricted, straight-through flow path. The result
is accurate throttling control over a wide range of
flow conditions.

Shaft Packing Options - A choice of shaft packing
systems (see ) provides enhanced shaft sealing to
meet specific application requirements.
Structural Integrity - One-piece body (see )
improves structural integrity of the pressure
boundary by eliminating the potential leak paths
found in two-piece, bolted valve designs.
Accurate Positioning - Splined driveshaft (see )
coupled with clamped actuator lever helps ensure
zero lost motion.
Process Compatibility - A wide choice of materials
for valve body, V-notch ball, ball seals, shafts, and
other components allows you to specify a Vee-Ball
valve to meet most process applications.
Standard body materials include both CG8M
(317) and CF3M (316L) stainless steel as well as
WCC carbon steel materials. Additional body
materials include CK3MCuN superaustenitic SST, and
nickel alloys CN7M (Alloy 20), M35-2 (Alloy 400) and
CW2M (Alloy C).

Vee-Ball valve (see ) has a body liner, V-notch ball,
and flow ring all constructed of high-chromium iron.
A ceramic flow ring insert is available for especially
aggressive slurry services.
Medium Consistency Pulping - The V150E expanded
outlet Vee-Ball valve (see ) accommodates expanded
downstream piping.
7
V150S erosion-resistant trim
components protect the body from
erosive wear and are retained
without the use of press fits or
threads for easy replacement.
8
The V150E outlet flange is one
standard line size diameter larger
than the inlet. The expanded outlet
geometry streamlines the flow
through the valve as the flow
area increases from inlet to outlet.
For Even Greater Versatility,
FIELDVUE Digital Valve Controllers —
Capabilities That Extend Beyond
Traditional Valve Control
While a traditional valve positioner serves a single
purpose, which is to maintain a valve in its intended
control position, FIELDVUE digital valve controllers
(see ) provide much more.
FIELDVUE instrumentation collects
real-time data about valve performance,
which proves crucial not only to reducing
process variability but also to enhancing
plant operations.
