New ball valve facility
Pentair Valves & Controls has expanded its Anseong manufacturing facility in South Korea.
The plant will now also produce trunnion mounted ball valves under Pentair’s FCT brand, reflecting the company’s commitment to meeting customers’ needs in the region while helping to satisfy the demand for Korean-manufactured products.
The expanded facility enables Pentair to supply ball valves for local projects, offering Korean EPC customers high quality products, shorter lead times and cost savings. Operations at the plant include valve manufacture, assembly and testing for critical applications in the on- and offshore oil & gas, marine and LNG industries.
The plant will produce forged carbon steel and FCT-branded stainless steel ball valves, certified to API 6D and API 607, in sizes up to 24 inches. Design features, such as an anti-blow-out stem shouldered inside the body, and a three-barrier stem sealing, ensure complete fire safety and fugitive emission control for maximum protection and reliability.
