3" x 3" 1502 Gear Operated Plug Valve | 15K PSI High Pressure Oilfield Valve

3" x 3" 1502 Gear Operated Plug Valve – 15K PSI High Pressure Oilfield Valve

The 3" x 3" 1502 Gear Operated Plug Valve is engineered for reliable flow control in high-pressure oilfield applications. Rated up to 15,000 PSI (15K), this valve is designed to handle demanding operations involving oil, gas, drilling mud, cement slurry, and fracturing fluids.

Manufactured from forged alloy steel, the valve offers exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to wear in harsh environments. The gear-operated mechanism provides mechanical advantage, allowing smooth and controlled manual operation even under full line pressure.

Its full bore design ensures unrestricted flow with minimal pressure drop, while the metal-to-metal and resilient sealing system delivers secure, leak-resistant shutoff for safe and efficient operation.

Designed for standard oilfield service, this valve is a dependable solution for drilling, production, and well servicing applications requiring consistent high-pressure performance.
