  • MODULAR VALVE BODY WITH BIMETALLIC OPTION
    Publication number: 20210148481
    Abstract: A modular valve body with a bimetallic option is shown and described herein. The modular valve body generally includes at least one end connector element joined to a housing. The housing may be formed from a first material, such as carbon steel. The end connector element may be formed from a second material, such as monel. In some versions of the modular valve body, in order to join the end connector element and the housing, the end connector element is rotated and pressed against the housing to heat both materials and create a friction weld therebetween.
