Quality Policy
R&M Energy Systems is committed to
understanding and fulfilling customer
needs through the design, manufacture
and delivery of high quality products.

R&M Energy Systems maintains a Quality

Management System that is dedicated
to continuous improvement through
excellence in innovation and employee
participation.

The Resun plug valve, industrys Old Reliable, is used in

countless industrial and general utility applications. The
following are a few major categories of the many specific
applications in which the Resun valve provides reliable,
uninterrupted, leak-free service:
Chemical and petrochemical processing
Petroleum gathering and distribution
Gas distribution systems
Water and wastewater
Heating, air conditioning (HVAC)
Food and beverage processing
Pulp and paper
Paint, varnish, lacquer and ink
Asphalt and other viscous materials
Cement and ore slurries
Standard material for Resun plug valves is a high tensile
cast iron made to Resun specifications & in compliance
with ASTM A-126 Class B standards. All specifications in
this catalog are for valves of this material.
UL and CSA approval is available on valve models so
noted in this catalog when specified on the customers
purchase order.

Employees are responsible for achieving

the quality objectives established by R&M
Energy Systems by providing products
and services that consistently meet
specified requirements.

Specific Advantages of the

Resun Plug Valve:
Rugged construction Large Resun plug valves
can even shear a two-by-four board.
Low cost
Readily available
Maximum port openings Full pipe area is available
to minimize turbulence, erosion and pressure drop.
Ease of operation Unlike the tapered plugs of
other plug valves, the Resun cylindrical plug turns
easily without binding or seizing, at the pressures
and temperatures within its operating limits.
Minimum maintenance Only a small initial charge
of sealant is required with occasional recharging
for easy operation. The basic construction of the
valve simplifies any service or parts replacement
which might become necessary.
R&M Energy Systems will consider any reasonable
modification of the plug valve that makes it more appropriate
to the needs of the customer.

Round port, full-opening,

through-conduit Resun plug
valves are ideal for slurries
or other services where only
minimum flow restrictions
can be tolerated or where any
pressure drop is unacceptable.
Resun multi-port plug valves are available in many flow plans for blending
and diverting services.

Lubricated Plug Valves | Cylindrical Plug Valve

The cylindrical plug of the Resun valve turns easily on a film
of sealant, providing a leak-free seal. This design permits
maximum port openings through the plug, including full
pipe area, a distinct advantage over tapered plugs. And, since

tapered plug valves often lock up and require re-lubrication

each time the valve is to be cycled, the Resun valve requires
only an occasional charge of sealant to operate efficiently.

The Key to the Resun Plug Valves Success:

Its Cylindrical Plug Design

Sealant Screw with giant
buttonhead fitting for injection
of either bulk or stick sealant.

Primary Feature Excess sealant

discharges around stem, not in the
line.With no pressure build-up; no
contamination of flow media or
fouling of instruments.

Head Gasket gives tight

stem seal.

Cylindrical Plug fits closely, yet

turns as easily as a shaft
in a journal bearing.
Seating Surfaces are not
exposed to flow.

Body is a one-piece casting.

Baseplate seats tightly, is removable to permit disassembly.

(Larger valves have bolted top
cover plate).

Spring thrusts plug and TFE

head gasket against head seat.

Compact Construction
Resun valves compact construction permit
installation in tight spaces. The valves install in
any orientation without special tools.

Protected Surfaces
All wear surfaces are constantly supplied with
fresh sealant, protecting against corrosion and
abrasion. Even in the open position, seating
surfaces are protected from the flow media.

Minimum Maintenance
A minimum of regular maintenance (charging
with sealant) will keep a Resun plug valve in top
operating condition for long periods. If necessary,
the valves can be disassembled, cleaned and
reassembled quickly and easily. There are no
dead pockets where sealant and contaminants
can accumulate or solidify.

Tight Head Seal

A specially contoured TFE head gasket, backed
up by sealant and spring pressure, creates a tight
head seal.The lubricity of the TFE contributes to
the ease of operation.

Comparison of Resun Cylindrical Plug

Features with Conventional Tapered Plugs
Resun Cylindrical Plug

Tapered Plug

Larger port
opening, including
full pipe area.

Restricted openings;
no full area.

Will not bind;

operates easily at
all pressures and
temperatures within its stated limits.

Can bind under large

pressure differential
and under high or
low temperature.
At higher pressures,
must be jacked-up
to turn.

Requires only
occasional
lubrication for
easy operation.

May require
lubrication before
each operation.

Lower consistent
torque, smaller,
less expensive
actuator and less
maintenance.

Inconsistent higher
torque requires
difficult adjustments
and larger, more
expensive actuator.

Lubricated Plug Valves | Steam-Jacketed Baseplate Valves

Resun steam-jacket baseplates permit a constant supply
of steam or hot oil to be circulated to maintain viscous
substances such as asphalt, tar, paste, chocolate or wax at
flowing consistency.The large area baseplate conducts heat
with maximum efficiency, yet is lighter and requires less space
than a side jacket and is available for all standard valves

including multi-ports. To order, specify size and figure number

of standard valve and add WITH STEAM-JACKET BASEPLATE.
When valves are ordered complete with steam-jacketed baseplates, please specify the application.

Sealant | Forms and Injection Equipment

High-quality Resun plug valve sealants are formulated for
specific ladings. Proper servicing procedure and use of the
correct Resun sealant for the application is essential if maximum
operating efficiency and longest life are to be obtained from
your Resun valves.

gun servicing is standard for the largest sizes and may be

preferred for smaller sizes if many valves are in service.

Stick and Gun Sealant Injection

Gun grade sealants are relatively soft, permitting easier operation at low temperatures and with large valves. Gun grade
comes in gun cartridges and in bulk.

Resun sealants come in stick grade and gun grade. Stick

sealant injection is usually considered most convenient with
small numbers of valves or widely separated valves. Grease

Stick grade is especially suitable for high pressure or high

temperature services. If desired, these sealants can be injected
with a screw-primed grease gun. Stick grade comes in sticks,
gun sticks, and bulk.

Engineering Data | Typical and Special Plug Valve Specifications

Typical and Special

Plug Valve Specifications
All plug valves shall be of the lubricated plug type as manufactured by R&M Energy Systems, or equal; valves on liquid
sludge lines shall have full or nominal pipe size area ports.
Port openings in straightway shall be either rectangular or
round in shape. All multi-port valves shall be of the rectangular port type, and shall have full or nominal pipe size area
ports. Straightway valves to be used on gas lines may be of
the reduced port (regular opening) type. Where these valves
are used, those with the greatest port width are preferred
for minimum turbulence and pressure drop. Plugs of all
valves shall be of the cylindrical floating type. Contact
between the plug, the line seat and the head seat is maintained by resilient pressure, through the sealant, the liquid
or gas being transported, and/or the coil spring.
Valves shall be so constructed that excessive sealant pressure cannot be built up, but that the excessive sealant will
be automatically and visibly discharged to the atmosphere
around the neck of the plug when predetermined sealant
pressures are exceeded.
All gear-operated valves shall be equipped with giant buttonhead fittings and shall be properly charged with sealant
recommended by the valve manufacturer for the service
intended. Full area straightway, 6" rectangular port valves,
regular opening valves 8" and larger, full area multi-port and
6" round port valves, shall have giant buttonhead fittings
in the valve bodies located in such a manner as to assure
proper sealant injection at all times. Grease gun sealant
injection shall be used with the contractor furnishing one
high pressure grease gun Resun No. 013867, or approved
equal; sealant gun shall be complete with 12" hose and
coupler. One years supply of proper Resun sealant for each
service shall be furnished by the contractor.
Valves used shall be of a type made by a manufacturer who
can demonstrate the reliability of his valves by pointing to
similar installations which have been in satisfactory service
for a period of no less than five years.

The Resun Lubricated Plug Valve is probably the most versatile valve made. Off the shelf it is suited for a wide variety
of applications. The various port openings, the number of
sealants available and the easy addition of a steam-jacketed
baseplate considerably increases its range of applications.
In services where product tends to build up on the
plugas in asphalt or chocolateit may be advisable to
reduce the diameter of the plug.
In services where sand or other fine slurries pass
through the valve it may be advisable to eliminate the
balancing ports.
Several modifications have been developed in order to
better accommodate these applications. These special
modifications are referred to as Plate Numbers. Listed
below are the plate numbers offered and a description of
the type of applications for which they were designed.
Plate Numbers

Application Description

1084

Slurry service

1189

Asphalt service

When ordering, it is important to specify these plate numbers

or the specific application so that the valve can be modified.
This will insure that the customer will get the best Resun
valve for the application.
Depending on the nature of the modification, there may be
a nominal charge for a particular plate number.
Additional details of the modifications and illustrations are
available from R&M Energy Systems plant.
