Manual Two-Way Ball Valve
This carbon steel ball valve provides manual on-off control for water lines. It features a two-piece body with a full-port chrome-plated ball and a non-locking handle. The straight body style suits inline installations in plumbing and industrial systems. The unit is supplied new and rated for vacuum service.
Upgrade from worn or leaking shut-off valves
Replace older quarter-turn or multi-turn valves that no longer seal reliably. The 3,000 psi operating pressure rating and 150 psi steam rating support demanding hydraulic and steam applications. The jump is worth it when a full-port design is needed to maintain flow capacity without restriction.
Verify 3/8 inch nominal size
Confirm the existing piping uses a matching 3/8 inch connection before ordering. Ensure the media is compatible with carbon steel construction and that system pressure does not exceed the listed ratings. The valve carries no 3-A compliance rating for sanitary service.
