AAP Stainless Steel Ball Valve, 1/4"

This AAP stainless steel ball valve is a 2-piece full bore valve with a 316 stainless steel lever with a locking device. It is supplied in 10 sizes from 1/4" (8mm) to 3" (80mm). 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. A full bore valve has a port the same size as the pipe, so it passes flow with little restriction. The 2-piece body makes it a compact, economical choice.
