Scope 5

The W-K-M DynaSeal 310D ball valve is de- 3

signed to meet tougher industry requirements 2

while maintaining key features of the W-K-M

floating ball valve design. It has deep-pocketed 16 14 10 13 10 1
seats, an adjustable replaceable stem packing
and is available in carbon and stainless steel.
The 310D design is offered in sizes 1/2” to 4”x 11

3” class 150 and 300 flanged ends. The 1 1/2”, 12

2” and 3” full port valves are a two-piece

design. All other sizes are the “unibody”
design. 310D Unibody Ball Valve

valve requires very little maintenance. It’s non-
lubricated, self-cleaning ball can provide reliable,
leak free performance over a long period of
time.

The only preventative maintenance recom-

mended is to periodically inspect the valve for
leaks around the stem or actuator. Should a leak
be noticed, the following procedure is for
adjusting the packing.

Stem Packing Adjustment –

1. With an Allen wrench, snug up each of the
two packing adjustment screws in a clockwise
direction.
2. Snug up each screw an equal amount only as
much as required to stop the leak, not to
exceed the maximum specified in the follow-
ing table.

Warning: Valves should be placed in a partially open position prior to working on a valve or
removing it from service to vent pressure or drain product that may be trapped in the body
cavity.
