Carbon steel inline ball valve

The Dynaquip Controls VLE2.AK is a manual two-way ball valve with a carbon steel body and chrome-plated carbon steel ball. It uses a straight, two-piece construction and a full-port design. The valve connects via 1-inch FNPT threads and is rated for water media.

Installers needing high-pressure water shut-off

This valve suits plumbing systems that require a 3,000 psi operating pressure rating and full flow through a 1-inch line. It is not for steam lines exceeding 150 psi or for combustible gas service. Buyers who need a locking handle or 3-A sanitary compliance should look elsewhere.

3,000 psi operating pressure rating

The maximum operating pressure of 3,000 psi is the primary figure that determines if this valve matches the system design. It also carries a vacuum service rating of 29 in Hg and a steam limit of 150 psi. Verify these limits against the application requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What pipe thread does the 1" FNPT carbon steel ball valve require?

It connects to 1-inch female National Pipe Thread fittings on each end for inline installation.

How is the two-piece carbon steel ball valve installed without damaging the seats?

Hold the valve body with a wrench on the flats while tightening each pipe joint to avoid twisting the internal components.

When should the chrome-plated carbon steel ball or seats be replaced?

Replace them if leakage appears at the maximum operating pressure of 3000 psi or if steam service exceeds 150 psi.
