The Kerotest Manufacturing Corporation has developed a method of eliminating the familiar valve stem leakage problem on 1/4 turn valves. This new product is the Hermetic Stem Seal Device. This device uses a metal bellows around the stem instead of standard seals or packing.

The zero leakage feature greatly reduces valve maintenance eliminating the need for costly repair  parts, and labor and additional repair to the nearby equipment and machinery that is damaged by the leak. More importantly, process and plant downtime is reduced and the safety problems associated with leakage and maintenance on critical service components are eliminated.

The Hermetic Stem Seal Device is easily adapted to most rotating, nonrising stem valves (including plug, ball and butterfly) and can be used in 360 degree or quarter turn applications.

When this unique device is adapted to a ball valve the final result is:
