Spirax Sarco BSA3T Bellows Sealed Stop Valve - Throttling Isolation Valve for Steam & Condensate

Overview

The Spirax Sarco BSA3T is a flanged, in-line bellows sealed isolation valve engineered for applications requiring zero fugitive emissions from the stem seal. The bellows construction eliminates the need for conventional packing adjustments, resulting in low maintenance operation across steam, condensate, gas, and other critical fluid systems.

The BSA3T features a throttling valve plug designed for precise flow regulation during valve opening. Once the desired flow rate is achieved, an integrated locking screw and stroke limiter maintain consistent operation. This "T" version is specifically intended for regulating duties where controlled throttling is essential.

Constructed with a cast steel body rated to ANSI Class 300 design conditions, the BSA3T delivers reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The valve bellows are designed in accordance with MSS SP-117, and disc-to-seat shut-off conforms to API 598 no-leakage requirements.
