Product Overview
This pigging valve is designed for launching and receiving pipeline pigs used to clean long-distance transmission lines. It combines the stated pigging function within a valve-based arrangement.
The product specification describes it as an alternative to traditional complex pig-barrel launching and receiving devices. Applications include water, petroleum and natural gas pipelines.
Material, end connection and actuation selection should be reviewed against pipeline conditions and the actual pigging procedure.
- Pig Launching and Receiving: Combines the functions specified for the product.
- Pipeline Cleaning: Designed for long-distance pipeline maintenance.
- System Simplification: Replaces the listed pig-barrel arrangement.
- Project Configuration: Multiple materials, ends and actuators are available.

A pigging valve must be checked against the named cleaning pig or ILI tool; nominal valve size and a full-port description alone do not prove compatibility.
- Application: state launcher or receiver function, medium, line class, pigging frequency and operating sequence.
- Piggability: provide pipe ID, pig cup/disc OD, tool body length, bend capability, protrusions and the valve minimum bore drawing.
- Isolation and safety: specify seat direction, vent/drain, equalization, interlocks and zero-pressure verification.
- Inspection: require bore records, dimensional inspection, pressure and functional tests, NDE/PMI where specified, coating and final data book.
