Product Details
The 1-1/2 in. T316 stainless steel hex ball valve is a one-piece design with a pressure rating of 1000 psi. This ball valve utilizes a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses, allowing flow when the hole in the ball is aligned with the inlet and outlet of the valve. The flow is obstructed when the ball is rotated 90 degrees, making the hole perpendicular to the valve's opening. This valve can be categorized as full port, where the ball's hole matches the inner diameter of the connecting pipe for reduced friction, or reduced port, where the hole is one size smaller than the pipe, resulting in diminished flow. The valve typically features a handle or lever that indicates the ball's position (open or closed) for manual operation. It is suitable for various applications involving air, gas, liquid, and steam.
