BRAY 2-WAY SEAL

(1) The primary seal is achieved by a
PTFE to PTFE interference fit between
the seat flat and disc hub. (2) The
secondary seal is an interference fit due
to the diameter of the 17-4 ph stainless
steel stem being larger than the diameter
of the PTFE seats stem hole.
These seals combine to completely

PTFE is precisely molded at the seat
stem holes into a spherical shape to match
the curvature of the disc/stem hubs.
Uniform distribution of contact pressure
between the disc/stem and the seat hub
produces a superior primary stem seal,
reduces torque and enhances the sealing
and service life of the valve. Additionally,

ELASTOMER 2"20" (50mm500mm)
This is a special version of the
Series 20/21 valve. In addition
to the design features of the
Series 20/21, this valve has a
elastomer molded disc. The
elastomer material molded to
the 17-4 ph Stainless Steel disc/
stem is either EPDM, Buna-N,
or FKM* all excellent
choices for severely abrasive
and chemically erosive
applications. Typical applica-
tions are slurry services in
Mining, Power, Chemical, Bulk
Handling and many other
industries. The thin profile of the
one-piece disc/stem greatly
reduces the surface area of the disc, thus
allowing for a much higher Cv than most MATERIALS SELECTION
