3/8" FNPT x FNPT Stainless Steel Ball Valve
The Stainless Steel Ball Valve, identified by manufacturer reference G-SSV-38, is a robust and highly durable component engineered for demanding industrial environments. This valve is specifically noted for its use in critical areas such as the Maintenance POD and the Passenger Side Prep Gun Bay Wash Down System within a wash tunnel. Its construction from 316 stainless steel provides exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, crucial for longevity in harsh, wet, and chemical-rich environments like those found in a wash tunnel.
This valve features 3/8" Female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends, allowing for straightforward in-line installation. It boasts a one-piece valve structure and a full port design, which minimizes pressure drop and ensures maximum flow efficiency. Key safety features include a blowout-proof stem, preventing accidental stem ejection under pressure, and a fire-safe design for added protection in high-risk scenarios. Operation is managed by a locking lever handle, providing secure positioning and control.
This ball value is capable of handling high pressures, rated for a maximum of 2,000 psi CWP (Cold Working Pressure), and can withstand a broad operating temperature range from -20°F to 450°F (0°F to 400°F from detailed spec). It is also suitable for steam applications up to 150 psi WSP. The valve is compatible with various media, including air, steam, and water, and has a vacuum service rating of 29.9 in Hg. Its dimensions are approximately 5-3/8" X 1-1/2" X 2-1/2".
