5.Bi-Directional Shut-Off: Capable of sealing from both flow directions, although optimal performance is often achieved with flow direction specific to the valve design.
6.Good Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of media (water, oil, gas, steam, certain chemicals) depending on the seat and body materials selected (e.g., PTFE, metal-seated).
7.Ease of Maintenance: Many models feature a top-entry or split-body design, allowing for easy in-line maintenance and seat replacement without removing the entire valve from the pipeline.
8.Cost-Effective: Generally more economical to manufacture and purchase than trunnion-mounted ball valves, offering high value for standard applications.
