Install / Failure Note

XLB's patented SX stem seal is pressure-assisted and moves with the floating ball stem for constant sealing with no fatigue — a real mechanical answer to the stem-seal fatigue that causes fugitive emissions on a standard packed-stem ball valve over repeated cycles.

Pharmaceutical is one of the named industries for this exact valve family, and the under-20ppm fugitive-emissions rating after thermal and mechanical cycling is the real number that matters on a pharma process line — a valve that passes a shell test once but leaks after a hundred cycles isn't actually compliant in service.
