Product Description
The price is for one piece valve, the picture just say that we can do different sizes.
Ace 3-Way Vacuum Ball Valves (T-Type) have the advantage of sharing one vacuum pump between two applications. These ball valves have an NW-KF vacuum flange for connection to the vacuum system, are manually operated, and made of stainless steel.
- SS304 stainless steel valve body.
- PTFE valve seat.
- NW-KF standard connections.
- T port type.
Please contact me if you need L type, but mini order quantity is 30 pcs.
Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Stainless Steel 304 KF Flanged 3 Way Manual Ball Valves
What is a 3-way ball valve?
A 3-way ball valve is a type of valve that allows flow to be directed in three ways: straight through or at a right angle. It typically has three ports and can be used for mixing or diverting media in piping systems.
What is Stainless Steel 304?
Stainless Steel 304 is a commonly used stainless steel alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. It is widely used in various applications, including food processing, chemical, and marine industries.
What are KF flanges?
KF flanges, or Klein Flanges, are quick-connect flanges used primarily in vacuum applications. They provide a leak-tight seal with minimal assembly time, making them ideal for processes requiring frequent disconnects.
What are the benefits of using Stainless Steel 304 KF Flanged 3 Way Manual Ball Valves?
Some benefits include durability, corrosion resistance, ease of operation, and the ability to control flow direction efficiently. The KF flanged design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, making maintenance easier.
What is the pressure rating for these ball valves?
The pressure rating can vary depending on the model and manufacturer, but generally, these valves can handle pressures up to 150 psi. It’s essential to check the specifications for the exact model you are using.
Can these valves be used with corrosive materials?
Yes, Stainless Steel 304 is designed to withstand a variety of corrosive substances. However, for highly corrosive applications, consider using higher-grade stainless steels or other materials specifically designed for those conditions.
How do I install a Stainless Steel 304 KF Flanged 3 Way Manual Ball Valve?
Installation involves aligning the KF flanges with the corresponding piping, securing them together with the appropriate clamping mechanism, and ensuring the valve’s handle is positioned to control the desired flow direction.
Are there specific maintenance requirements for these valves?
Regular inspection for leaks, operation checks, and ensuring the handle functions smoothly are recommended. Lubricating the valve’s moving parts periodically may also assist in extending its service life.
What should I do if my valve is leaking?
If a leak is detected, first ensure the system is depressurized. Inspect the flanged connections and seals. Tighten connections if possible, or replace seals if necessary. For serious leaks or damage, consider replacing the valve.
Where can I purchase Stainless Steel 304 KF Flanged 3 Way Manual Ball Valves?
These valves can be found at specialized industrial suppliers, valves and fittings distributors, or online marketplaces that cater to plumbing and industrial applications.
