AAP Stainless Steel Ball Valve, 1/4"

This AAP stainless steel ball valve is a 1-piece reducing bore valve with a 316 stainless steel lever with a locking device. It is supplied in 8 sizes from 1/4" (8mm) to 2" (50mm). A ball valve turns a ball with a hole through it between sealing seats. When the lever or handle is in line with the pipe the hole lines up with the flow and the valve is open, and a quarter turn closes it. The handle sits in line with the port, so it shows the valve position.

The maximum working temperature is 180°C and the cold working pressure is 6,895 kPa (68.95 bar), with a body in CF8M, a 316 stainless steel ball and stem, and a PTFE (Teflon) seat. It suits air, water and hot or cold corrosive fluids in harsh environments. In a reducing bore valve the port is smaller than the pipe, so it restricts flow more than a full bore valve.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the size to match your pipe thread. This is the compact reducing bore version, so use the 2-piece or 3-piece full bore valve where the full pipe flow is needed. The 3-piece valve can be taken apart for servicing in the line.
