API 6D Trunnion Ball Valve Manufacturer
ZONCIC is an API 6D trunnion ball valve manufacturer supplying heavy-duty ball valves for oil and gas pipelines, petrochemical units, refinery systems and long-distance industrial transmission lines. Our trunnion mounted ball valves are designed for reliable shutoff, stable torque control and demanding project conditions where pressure, sealing performance and material traceability are critical.
API 6D Trunnion Ball Valve for Critical Pipeline Isolation
An API 6D trunnion ball valve is commonly selected for pipeline isolation where stable sealing, low operating torque and high-pressure reliability are required. Compared with floating ball valve designs, the trunnion mounted structure supports the ball at the top and bottom, helping reduce seat load and improve operation stability in larger sizes and higher pressure classes.
As an industrial ball valve supplier, ZONCIC focuses on project-based valve manufacturing rather than simple catalog supply. Each API 6D trunnion mounted ball valve can be configured according to working pressure, medium, temperature, end connection, operation method, sealing design and project documentation requirements.

What is an API 6D trunnion ball valve?
An API 6D trunnion ball valve is a pipeline ball valve designed for critical shutoff service. The ball is supported by trunnions, making it suitable for large size, high pressure and oil and gas pipeline applications.
What is the difference between floating and trunnion ball valve?
A floating ball valve relies on line pressure to push the ball against the seat, while a trunnion ball valve mechanically supports the ball. Trunnion ball valves are better for larger sizes, higher pressure classes and lower operating torque.
Can ZONCIC supply API 6D trunnion ball valves for oil and gas projects?
Yes. ZONCIC supplies API 6D trunnion ball valves for oil and gas pipelines, petrochemical plants, refinery systems, LNG service and industrial pipeline isolation applications.
Which materials are available?
Common materials include WCB, LCB, CF8, CF8M, WC6, WC9 and alloy steel. Material selection depends on medium, pressure class, working temperature and project specification.
Can the valve be supplied with actuator?
Yes. ZONCIC can supply gear operated, electric actuated and pneumatic actuated API 6D trunnion ball valves according to torque and control system requirements.
