Product Details
The 3 in. T316 stainless steel full port ball valve features a three-piece design and is sold as weld, with a pressure rating of 1000 psi. Ball valves utilize a spherical disc to control flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses; flow is permitted when the hole in the ball aligns with the inlet and outlet of the valve, while flow is obstructed when the ball is turned 90 degrees, causing the hole to be perpendicular to the valve's opening. This ball valve qualifies as full port, meaning the hole of the ball matches the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline, leading to reduced friction. It may be operated manually via a handle or lever that corresponds with the ball's orientation. This type of valve is applicable in various mediums, including air, gas, liquid, and steam.
