Stainless Steel 3 Piece Ball Valve Plain

This stainless steel three-piece ball valve is fitted with socket weld ends, making it particularly well suited to high-pressure and high-temperature pipework systems where a permanent, leak-free connection is required. The socket weld configuration provides a strong, reliable joint and is commonly specified in process industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. The three-piece body construction offers a significant maintenance advantage, allowing the central valve body to be removed from the pipeline for inspection, cleaning, or ball replacement without disturbing the welded end connections, keeping downtime to a minimum.

Constructed with a CF8M stainless steel body and stainless steel 316 ball and stem, it delivers excellent corrosion resistance and consistent performance under demanding conditions. The full-bore design ensures maximum flow capacity, minimising pressure drop across the valve. PTFE seals throughout provide low-friction, chemically resistant operation across a working temperature range of -25°C to +200°C. The integrated locking lever prevents inadvertent operation, adding an additional layer of safety in critical installations. ATEX approved, this valve is also suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Available in ten sizes from 1/4" to 3".
