A352 LCB Ball Valve

ASTM A352 LCB ball valves are intended primarily for low-temperature service at a minimum temperature of -46°C. Frequently, an extended bonnet is designed to avoid the valve stem seal contacting the low-temperature fluid.

A352 LCB are suitable for continuous service down to -46°C and up to 345°C.
