357 Series Control Valves

The 357 Series control valves (see figures 1, 2, 3, 6,
and 5) meet high-pressure on-off and throttling re-
quirements, particularly in the oil industry. The control
valves are well suited as dump valves or back-pres-
sure control valves on oil and gas separators, scrub-
bers, and other field process equipment. They are also
ideal for wellhead applications where rugged steel
construction and easy maintenance are necessary.
These control valves are available with screwed or
flanged end connections.

If the control valve requires maintenance, the trim can

be exposed by removing the hammer nut(1) and lifting
the actuator/bonnet assembly off the valve without
disassembling the actuator.

Features
D Safer Bonnet/Valve Body Connection—Unique
design provides additional protection if disassembly of
bonnet/valve body connection is started and there is
still pressure in the valve body.

D Extra Thread Engagement of Hammer Nut

and Valve Body—If disassembly has been started
and pressure is being released, there is still extra
thread engagement between the valve body and the
hammer nut to keep the valve pressure from blowing
off the bonnet (see figure 4).

D Integral Bonnet Flange—Bonnet has an integral

flange that accepts hammer nut force when making
bonnet-to-body connection. There are no snap rings to W5810-1 IL

fail in sour service or in atmospheric corrosion (see

figure 4).
Figure 1. Type 357 Control Valve
D Standard Trim for Throttling or On-Off Ser-
vice—Micro-Form trim is standard for throttling or on-
off service at no extra cost. D Easy Installation—Compact design and light
weight allow installation in limited space with minimum
D Ultra-Hard Trim Available—Optional VTC (ce- labor.
ramic) trim is available for very erosive applications. (continued on page 3)
