Let’s just say that things don’t always work out as planned. In plant design, this can lead to odd piping offsets and valves in places that are inacessible or in unsafe operating locations. Luckily, our design team and manufacturing division has the experience and capabilities to be able to handle those challenges.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

Design a gate valve extension that would go through the current railing making it safer and easier to operate. A traditonal extension would couple to the valve stem, but to keep things simple and cost-effective, our product engineer designed the extension to come off the existing handwheels. The added benefit of the design was the ease of installation.

In the current piping layout, there are 16” & 18” gate valves that are hard to access. An operator has to bend down and over to access the handwheel, not a safe position for someone to be in, especially on a catwalk.
