No. | Description | Features and Benefits |
1. | Anti Blow-out Stem | i) Rolled and plated stem threads for excellent Stem performance & extended service life. II) Non Rotating self centering stem tip for superior & repeatable perfect sealing. III) Burnished stem at packing area to ensure low torque operation of the valve & reduction in packing wear. |
2. | Stem Tip | Burnished to achieve high grade surface finish and work hardness for excellence performance and extended service life |
3. | Packing Bolt | Allows packing adjustment in open or close position. |
4. | Packing | Packing below the threads protects the flow stream from lubricant contamination on the threads or wash out and also protect the stem threads from potential damaging effects of the media. |
5. | Locking Pin | To prevent accidental loosening / disassembly of valve. |
6. | Bonnet Lock Nut | For safety to prevent accidental loosening of packing bolt |

STEM TYPE :
SEALEXCEL® Needle Valves are available with choice of optional stem to provide greater flexibility.
NON-ROTATING (NR) : It is Standard self centering non rotating stem tip typically used in high cycle application to extend the valve life.
V-STEM (VS) : It is used for general purpose liquid and gases.
SOFT SEAT (SS) : A soft seat stem requires a lower sealing torque, It is replaceable and suitable for temperature upto 120ºC
REGULATING STEM (RS) : It is used where some degree of flow control required.
TECHNICAL DATA
The Temperature and Pressure rating for a standard valve with PTFE packing
Temperature | Pressure | |
psig | bar | |
-54ºC to 38ºC | 6000 | 408 |
-54ºC to 93ºC | 5160 | 351 |
-54ºC to 148ºC | 4660 | 317 |

FAQs
What is a needle valve used for?
A needle valve is used to regulate the flow of a substance. The flow can be either gas or water through an application or a system. Seal Excel is one of the best needle valves manufacturers in India. We have an extensive range of Needle valves.
How do you use a needle valve?
The needle valve can be operated automatically or manually. For manual use, one requires a handwheel to control the distance between plunger and valve. Seal Excel is the finest needle valve manufacturer. We bring to you a thoughtful range of quality needle valves.
Do needle valves reduce pressure?
No, the needle valve does not reduce the pressure; they control the flow and protect the gauges. It removes the chances of potential damages caused due to a sudden surge in pressure.
How do you install a needle valve?
The handle of the needle valve is connected to the plunger. When you turn the handle of the valve the plunger moves up or down depending upon the threads. As the plunger moves down the tapered point end comes in contact with the valve and fully seals it.
