The Argus FK75C split-body, full-bore, floating ball valve represents the highest standards in valve technology. Its superfine-finished, seat-supported ball is just one of its many important design features. Others include an anti-blow out stem, long-life, double-stem seal system and stem supported in bearings to ensure seals are free from operation loads.

Features & Benefits
- Improved plant and personnel safety from valve design, which meets fugitive emissions standard ISO 15848
- Scalloped Seat design to prevent solids and particulate from building in the seat pocket
- Special bearing configurations, including cladding of critical areas and trim coating configurations, improve valve life-time
- Designed for temperatures for the highest demands on valve tightness in process and to atmosphere (FE)
- Chambered ball seats, seat pocket body design, stem seal protection and flushing system designs support valve performance and extend service life-time
- Process optimized coatings, cladding option and wearing protection feature for extended ball valve life-time
- Flushing options in critical valve areas (e.g., on seats, stem or cavity) avoid media build up to improve service life-time
