VBG Intech’s BG Series Control Valves are designed to ensure a completely enclosed bonnet gasket. Both the BG-S and BG-H series bonnet’s have a shoulder projection that doubles as a mechanical stop, limiting the gasket compression. Thus, the bonnet gasket remains completely sealed, and its compression is determined by the depth of the shoulder projection existing in the bonnet.

The body, the seat retainer, and the seat itself are machined within tight tolerances to ensure proper gasket compression. In contrast to the bonnet, the seat ring does not in fact come into direct contact with the body, due to its resting on the gasket. Maintaining proper clearance, this allows for thermal expansion while maintaining mechanical tolerances.
