A44/459 Series – Three Piece Reduced Ball Valve
The Flowserve Worcester Controls three-piece reduced ball valve delivers rugged, high-performance reliability for a range of applications, all in an easy-to-maintain design. A variety of pipe ends, including socket weld, screwed or butt weld ends enables these valves to be adapted to fit both standard and more unusual piping specifications while the range of seat materials handles steam, chemicals, cryogenic gases, petroleum products, caustics, abrasive materials or fluids containing solids.
As you would expect, Worcester has developed and improved the Series 44/459 over the years to maintain its position as the 8-150mm valve design which others strive to equal. The 59 and 599 series full bore versions complete the range of 3-piece valves.

Technical Data
- Engineered Polymer Composite Construction offers cost-effective corrosion-resistance, is lightweight, non-galling, non-sparking, and non-conductive.
- Unitized Case with Integrally Molded Flanges at the suction and discharge nozzles, fully gusseted for structural soundness.
- Externally Adjustable, Semi-Open Impeller provides consistently high efficiencies and minimizes maintenance.
- Shaft/Bearing System operates below the first critical speed for less shaft whip and longer bearing life.
- Bearings can be lubricated by external flush or self-lubricated by the pump fluid.
- Single-Piece Column is lightweight, filament-wound, reinforced fiberglass composite for strength and rigidity.
