Product Details
The 3/8 in. T316 stainless steel full port ball valve is a three-piece design with a pressure rating of 1000 psi. Ball valves utilize a spherical disc to regulate flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses, allowing flow when the hole in the ball is aligned with the valve's inlet and outlet, and blocking flow when the ball is rotated 90 degrees, positioning the hole perpendicular to the valve opening. This valve is categorized as full port, meaning the hole in the ball matches the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline, resulting in lower friction and higher flow efficiency. Ball valves can be manually operated with a handle or lever indicating the ball's position (open or closed) and are suitable for use in air, gas, liquid, and steam applications. The valve is constructed to meet relevant industry standards for quality and durability.
