Introduction
Valve bodies are available in two-way configuration with stem-up open and stem-up closed configurations. Stem-up closed models are restricted to use with hydraulic actuators. The linkages used with electric actuators are only compatible with stem-up open bodies. Sizes range from 1/2" to 6" pipe size or 5/8" O.D. SAE 45º copper tube.

Selecting the proper valve body
requires the following data:
• Fluid type
• Fluid temperature
• Port size (C_v rating)

Selecting the proper port size
requires the following data:
• Inlet pressure
• Required flow rate in either GPM (liquid) or lbs/hr (steam).

If the customer is using on-off control, just select the valve body with the largest port size in the requested pipe size. Remember the following rule when sizing the valve for floating or proportional control. “At least one-half of the available pressure must drop across the valve body when the valve is fully open.” An oversized valve body will result in very nonlinear control action. It is better to have too small of a valve body than too large of one.
