Product Details
The 3/8 in. T316 stainless steel hex ball valve is a 1-piece construction rated for up to 1000 psi. Ball valves utilize a spherical disc to regulate the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is permitted when the hole in the ball-shaped disc is aligned with the valve's inlet and outlet, while flow is obstructed when the ball is rotated 90 degrees, positioning the hole perpendicular to the valve's opening. This ball valve features options for full port, where the ball's hole matches the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline, allowing for reduced friction, and reduced port, where the ball's hole is one pipe size smaller, resulting in decreased flow. The valve may come equipped with a handle or lever for manual operation, making it suitable for air, gas, liquid, and steam applications. The product is constructed to meet relevant certifications and compliance standards, ensuring reliability and performance in various settings.
