Conventional welded bonnet valves are essentially non-repairable in the field, leading to costly downtime and replacement expenses. With the Field Injection Port (FIP) now integrated into the standard valve, even welded bonnet valves become field-repairable— enabling quick, safe, and cost-effective remediation of leaks.

  • Minimize impacts of packing degradation over time.
  • Enable quick, safe, and cost-effective remediation of leaks.
  • Reduce operational disruption and lower total cost of ownership by allowing in-place repairs instead of full valve replacement.
