1. use a flanged valve or
2. remove ball and seat prior to welding.

Hello Group

Can anyone give me some info regarding welding a ball valve (20") to the pipe line. Since the valve is soft seated it is critical to keep the seat
and seal areas cool. But the main problem is how to keep weld splutter away
from the seat/ball area. This weld splutter cause to damage the soft seat
after valve is operated couple times.
