About Stainless Steel Female Ball Valve
A female threaded end connection on a ball valve will fit with a male threaded pipe, and vice versa. There are also ball valves that come with one female and one male end connection. Flanged ball valves have bolt holes on the end connectors to attach to the matching flanges on a pipe.Durable Build for Harsh EnvironmentsManufactured from high-quality SS304 or SS316 stainless steel, our ball valve offers superior resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for water, oil, gas, and diverse chemical applications. The precision-cast body and polished surface enhance longevity, even in demanding industrial conditions.
Seamless Operation and Flow ControlUtilizing full bore/full port design, this ball valve provides unobstructed flow, ensuring minimal pressure drop. The quarter-turn manual operation and bubble-tight class VI leakage rating guarantee secure shut-off and precise regulation, suitable for a wide spectrum of pipeline systems.
Enhanced Leak Resistance and Easy MaintenanceEquipped with PTFE (Teflon) seats and stem packing, the valve ensures outstanding leak resistance and ease of maintenance. The polished finish resists dirt and contaminants, allowing for straightforward cleaning during routine system checks.
FAQ's of Stainless Steel Female Ball Valve:
Q: How is the Stainless Steel Female Ball Valve installed in a piping system?
A: The valve is installed by threading its BSP or NPT female ends onto compatible pipes or fittings. Ensure proper application of sealing tape or compound for leak-proof installation and check alignment before tightening.
Q: What makes PTFE (Teflon) stem packing and seats beneficial for this valve?
A: PTFE (Teflon) components offer excellent chemical resistance and enhanced leak protection, reducing maintenance needs and providing reliable shut-off even in aggressive fluid environments.
Q: When should this valve be used in a fluid control system?
A: This valve is ideal for applications requiring bi-directional shut-off and flow regulation in pipelines for water, oil, gas, air, and chemicals. Use it when precise and secure control with minimal leakage is essential.
Q: Where can this stainless steel ball valve be applied?
A: It is suitable for use in industrial, commercial, or process piping systems-common in water treatment plants, oil and gas facilities, chemical process industries, and general pipeline applications.
Q: What are the primary benefits of choosing an SS304 or SS316 valve for corrosive conditions?
A: Both SS304 and SS316 offer robust corrosion resistance. SS316 provides superior performance, especially in environments exposed to chlorides or more aggressive chemicals, enhancing service life.
Q: How does the quarter-turn manual operation work?
A: The valve opens or closes fully with a simple 90-degree (quarter-turn) rotation of the handle, facilitating fast, clear indication of flow status and reducing operational complexity.
