Carbon Steel Ball Valve

This carbon steel ball valve is built for water systems that demand a full-port, straight-through flow path. The two-piece body uses chrome-plated carbon steel for the ball and carbon steel for the body, rated for up to 3,000 psi operating pressure and 150 psi steam pressure. It suits installers who need a manual, two-way shut-off with a locking handle for secure positioning.

FNPT Installation Notes

The valve connects via 3/4 inch FNPT threads on both ends, so standard pipe tape or sealant is required for a leak-free joint. Because the body is carbon steel, avoid over-tightening which can distort the threads or crack the fitting. The locking handle adds a step during actuation but prevents accidental movement once set.

Sustained Pressure Behaviour

Under continuous operation at the rated 3,000 psi, the full-port design maintains unrestricted flow without the pressure drop common in reduced-port valves. The chrome-plated ball resists wear from prolonged cycling, and the vacuum rating of 29 in Hg confirms the seats hold seal during extended negative-pressure conditions. The two-piece construction allows inline servicing if seal replacement becomes necessary.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the VLE2.AK0P is sealing correctly after installation?

Pressurise the line up to 3,000 psi and check for leaks; the valve should hold vacuum down to 29 in Hg and handle steam up to 150 psi without weeping.

What comes with the VLE2.AK0P and what must I supply?

The valve body, chrome-plated carbon steel ball and locking handle are included; you must provide 3/4" FNPT pipe fittings, thread sealant and any mounting hardware.

Which pressure-rated version of this ball valve should I select for my system?

Choose the VLE2.AK0P when your design requires 3,000 psi operating pressure, 150 psi steam rating and 29 in Hg vacuum capability in a 3/4" carbon steel full-port valve.
