Description
The Hansen GW600H is a 6" (150 mm) butt weld globe shut-off valve with a handwheel, built for industrial refrigeration piping. It welds directly into steel pipe, so there are no flanged or threaded joints, and it uses Hansen's non-leak seal plus stem packing design to minimize stem leakage.
Service kits listed by Hansen for 6" butt weld valves: gasket kit 50-1083, bonnet assembly kit 50-1081, disc kit 50-1087 and handwheel kit 50-1089.

Common questions
What is the difference between the GW600H and the GW600C?
Both are 6" butt weld globe valves. The H suffix means this valve ships with a handwheel, while the GW600C ships with a seal cap. Hansen notes that the handwheel and seal cap are interchangeable.
Which refrigerants is it suitable for?
Hansen lists the butt weld shut-off valve line for R717 (ammonia), R22, R134a, R507a, R404a, R744 (CO2) and other Hansen-approved refrigerants.
Specifications are based on Hansen Technologies Bulletin G359d (Butt Weld Shut-Off Valves, Nov 2019). Confirm fit, ratings and application requirements before ordering.
