Series 765 - Reduced Port Valve

• The OCV 765 Control Valve is a globe pattern, reduced port engineered valve. The body,bonnet, internals and seat area are a size smaller than the flange size. Reduced port valves address the need for correctly sized valves without the use of pipeline reducers, allowing the valve to handle an application that demands flow rates of a smaller valve. An example would be an application where the flow rate dictates a 3″ valve is used but the line size is 4 inches; thus a Model 765, 4″ flanged body with 3″ internals appropriately fits this condition.
• When equipped with a variety of pilots and accessories the 765 valve performs a wide range of automatic fluid control, making it a specified valve in many applications. Reduced port valves are not applicable for all applications; consult factory for proper sizing assistance. Most common applications are found in modulating or regulating valves; i.e. pressure reducing, pressure relief and among others.
• Reduced port valves are available in most OCV valve series. Valve models using the reduced port basic valve start with a number 7. For example: Model 127-3 (full port pressure reducing) would become a Model 727-3 (reduced port pressure reducing).
