Stainless Steel Ball Valves
General Features:
- ● All our 2 Piece Ball Valves are full port or more commonly referred to full bore ball valves.
- ● Full port/ bore means the hole in the ball will match the pipeline size. This results in lower friction loss.
- ● The most widely used Ball Valves across general industry - low cost, ease of use and durability.
- ● They are easy to install. No tools required for installation.
- ● Will Quickly and Easily thread onto a Male BSP Thread.
- ● Sizing: The pipe size determines the size of the ball valve required. A 2” (50mm) pipe will take a 2” (50mm) ball valve.
General Specifications:
- Suitable Mediums: Water, Oil and Gas (WOG)
- Seats and Seals: PTFE (Teflon)
- Threads: Female BSP (Female British Standard Pipe Thread)
- Port: Full Port/ Full Bore (Internal Diameter remains same as the pipe ID)
- Handle: Blow-Out Proof Design

- Non-wetted parts: Stainless Steel 304 (parts that don’t interact with the material being transported)
General Dimensions:
Our Stainless Steel 2-piece Ball Valves are stocked in two different 'styles'; Standard and Compact:
-
- Compact Style: This style is ideal for tight spaces, where weight might be an issue and/ or where budget is a concern. Being slightly more efficient in design, some weight is saved and dimensions optimimised. See tables below for weight comparisons. All specifications remain identical to the Standard 2 Piece ball valves.
- Standard Style: This is slightly larger and thus heavier than the compact version. It also has a larger handle. Sometimes also referred to as the heavy-duty version.
1. Compact Style (304 and 316)
2. Standard (Regular/ Heavy Duty) Style (316)

Design Data:
- Casting: Investment Casting (AD2000-WO)
- Dimension Standards: According to DIN299/259; ISO228-1; JIS B0203; ISO7/1
- Threads: ASME B1.20.1 BS21 DIN299/259
- Approvals: CE0035

General Features:
- ● The distinctive feature of these valves is that they can easily be taken apart for cleaning purposes.
- ● By loosening the 4 bolts that hold the valve body in place, the ball valve separates into three parts.
- ● The ball valve threaded end-sections remain in situ while the valve body can be removed.
- ● Widely used in the food and beverage industry and in other applications where cleaning is required.

- Valve Body: Stainless Steel 316 (CF8M)
- Seats & Seals: Teflon (PTFE)
- Compatibility: Suitable for use with any substances compatible with Stainless Steel and Teflon (PTFE)
- Non-wetted parts: Stainless Steel 304 (parts that don’t interact with the material being transported)
General Dimensions:
- ● This valve body comprises 3 segments; two end-sections and a removable central portion. 4 bolts slide in from one end-section to the other and are fastened with nuts.
- ● The two end-sections are threaded with a removable central portion which holds the ball valve.
- ● For cleaning purposes the central portion can be removed, leaving the two end-sections in situ. This facilitates easy access without having to unscrew the ball valve in its entirety.

THREE WAY BALL VALVE
- ● 3 Way Ball Valves are designated either L-Port or T-Port.
- ● The port designation is derived from the flow pattern produced.
- ● Both shapes provide options for diverting flow from or to different sources.
- ● The L-Port is used as a diverter valve, directing flow from one inlet to a choice between two outlets.
- ● In the case of a T-Port Valve, fluid can be directed to more than one location simultaneously.
Material Components:
- Valve Body: Stainless Steel 316 (CF8M) or SS304 (CF8)
- Seats & Seals: Teflon, also known as PTFE
- Compatibility: Suitable for use with any substances compatible with Stainless Steel and Teflon (PTFE)
- Non-wetted parts: Stainless Steel 304
General Dimensions:
- ● The body is manufactured as a single piece with three caps attached to each port end.
- ● This outlet configuration setup means that a 3 way ball valve cannot accept a ball as large as the 2 Piece & 3 Piece can.
- ● The ID is thus smaller than full port yet not as reduced as for the standard port or reduced port ball valves.
- ● ID of the 3 way ball valve is wider than that of the one piece ball valve of equivalent size.
