3in Fig 1502 Gear Operated Plug Valve – 10,000 psi Sour Service

Product Overview

The 3in Fig 1502 Gear Operated Plug Valve is designed for high-pressure oilfield applications where valve size, operating torque, or accessibility make manual operation difficult. Combining RDI's proven 3in Fig 1502 sour service plug valve with a direct-mount Rotork gear operator, this configuration delivers precise valve control, reduced operator effort, and improved safety in demanding field environments.

The full-bore 3in flow path minimizes pressure loss while the gear operator provides smooth, controlled actuation for high-pressure flow control applications.
