Top Entry Valves
Features:• Extended bonnets for ApoIlO~ Top Entry Ball Valves are available lor
sizes 1/2" through 8" in classes 150 and 300. Extended bonnetsarestandard for all class 600 valves.
• These bonnets provide excellent performance in high temperature orsemi cryogenic applications.
• This bonnet design places the stem seals further away from the processflow thereby maintaining temperatures closer to ambient.
• Insulation can be applied 10 the bonnet reducing the chance 01 disturbance as would be caused by a stem extension. If and when stem leakage occurs it can be immediately observed and oorrective action takenwithout insulation removal.
• A valuable feature of the Extended Bonnel is that it is field retrofittable. Inaddition to being able to order valves with several bonnet styleS directfrom the factory. kits are available thai are pre-assembled with the stern .bonnet. packiogs. glands and jam nut installed and property torqued fordependable perlormance. Con tact the factory for kit part numbers for anyscecnc valve or application.
Materials of Construction:Extended bonnets are available in the same broad selection of materials ofcons truction as thoseitrustrated on page 5 for the bonnet, stem, stempackings, packing gland, nuts and body seals.

Features:
FugitiveEmissions
BonnetDimensions
• Two types of the FUgitive Emissions Bonnet are available. The firsttype intended lor manual operation is not live loaded . Tes ting hasshown thai live loading only becomes necessary in high cyde appl ications. This leads to the second type. the live loaded version. Thissecond type rot only is more appropriate for unattended automatedoperations and high cycle applications. it is also well sui ted 'Ofappl ica tions involving thermal cycling .
• Two styles of packings are available for the Fugitive Emissionsbonnet. The primary offering is a double stack of RPTFEChevrons. The second option is a specially contou red double slackof "Di e Formed' graphoil rings.
• The lower, primary packing stack is pressure activated as we ll asmechanically loaded. The upper packing stackacts as back-upseals in the case of primary seal failure. A purge port is availablebetween the two stacks for the purpose of detecting primary sealleakage .
• One of the most valua ble features of the Fugitive Emiss ionsBonnet is that it is field retrofinable to existing installations. In addition to being able to order Top Entry valves with any of three b0nnet sty les direct from the factory, kits are available tha t are preassembled with the stem, bonnet, packings, glands and jam nutinstalled and property torqued for dependable performance. In thecase where the service or regu lation s ch ange and a designupg rade is required . the Top Ent ry Ba ll valve is designed to accommodate mese changes. Contact the factory for kit part numbe rs forany specific valve or application.
M aterials of Construction:Extended bonnets are available in the same materials of construction as those illustrated on page 5 and 6 for the bonnet. stem, stempack ings. packing gland. nuts and body seals.
