- Major cost benefits are achieved by using Pig Valves as they are significantly less expensive to purchase and install than conventional Pig Launchers & Receivers.
- Pressure/Vent arrangement ensures pressure is not trapped in the pig chamber
- No special tools are required for servicing
- Smooth through-bore with no shoulders or gaps to damage pigs or allow foreign particles to be lodged
- By-Pass arrangement eliminates the possibility of line over-pressurisation from being shut during the pigging operation
- Field convertible from Launcher to Receiver
- High quality machined Pig Cage is incorporated into all Pig Valves
- One piece body/flange design
