The Class 1500 Lubricated Plug Valve is a forged steel valve for high-pressure pipeline isolation, rated Class 1500 with hand-operated or electric-actuated configurations.
It is specified for higher pressure-class projects such as offshore oil, high-pressure gas and chemical pipelines. Drawing confirmation, material selection, actuator matching and factory assembly can be coordinated for project-specific orders.

Class 1500 Construction & Lubrication
Lubricated Plug Arrangement
The cone plug operates inside a grease-filled chamber. Lubrication is maintained around the plug and sealing surfaces to reduce friction during plug movement and limit wear under high-pressure service.
Lubrication Ports
The lubrication system allows PTFE or MoS₂-based compounds to be replenished without disassembling the valve. The selected compound is matched to the operating medium and service conditions.
Sealing Surface Protection
Lubrication at the sealing interface helps reduce direct contact between the plug and sealing surfaces during operation. The lubrication configuration is matched to the valve material, sealing arrangement and service conditions.
Materials & Service Configuration
Body Material Selection
F316 stainless steel, carbon steel and corrosion-resistant alloys are available. Material selection is based on the process medium, pressure, temperature and corrosion conditions.
Temperature Configuration
The specified operating range is -29°C to 180°C. Material and sealing selections are matched to the required service temperature.
Medium Compatibility
Material, sealing and lubrication selections are matched to the actual process medium and operating conditions. The applicable configuration is confirmed against the project requirements.
Lubrication Material
Lubricant selection is based on the process medium, operating temperature and valve configuration.
End Connection & Operation
Flanged Connection
Flanged connections are available, with connecting flange dimensions designed according to the customer's pipeline requirements.
Butt-Weld Connection

Inspection & Documentation
Pressure & Leakage Testing
Pressure and leakage testing is carried out according to the applicable inspection requirements to verify pressure integrity and shutoff performance before delivery.
Dimensional Inspection
Valve dimensions and connection dimensions are checked against the approved drawing and specified dimensional requirements.
Configuration Verification
Material, end connection, operating method and other ordered configurations are checked against the approved order specification.
Product & Compliance Documents
Applicable product and compliance documents can be supplied according to the ordered configuration and project requirements, including API 6D, API 607, CE and ISO 9001 documentation where applicable.
FAQ
Q: What is the main difference between Class 1500 and Class 900 Lubricated Plug Valves?
A: The main difference is the pressure class. Class 1500 is selected when the pipeline system requires a Class 1500 pressure rating.
Q: What is the MOQ for Class 1500 Lubricated Plug Valve orders?
A: There is no fixed MOQ stated for this product. Order quantity can be discussed according to the valve specification and project requirements.
Q: What is the typical lead time for a Class 1500 Lubricated Plug Valve?
A: A typical industry lead time is around 4–8 weeks, depending on valve size, material, quantity and configuration. The final schedule is confirmed after order details are finalized.
Q: Can drawings be provided for project approval?
A: Yes. Product drawings and configuration details can be reviewed and confirmed according to the project requirements before production.
Q: Can actuators and matching accessories be supplied?
A: Yes. Electric actuators can be matched and supplied with the valve according to the required operating conditions and configuration.
Q: Can spare parts be supplied for maintenance?
A: Yes. Spare parts can be supplied according to the valve model, material configuration and maintenance requirements.
Q: What inspection documents can be provided?
A: Inspection and product documents can be supplied according to the ordered configuration and project requirements, including applicable material and inspection records.
Q: How are Class 1500 valves packaged for shipment?
A: Packaging is arranged according to valve size, weight, configuration and shipping requirements. Special packing or marking requirements can be confirmed before shipment.
Q: Can the valve be supplied with a customized material configuration?
A: Yes. Material selection can be coordinated according to the process medium, pressure, temperature and corrosion conditions specified for the project.
