OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade 316 Stainless Steel Ball Valve

The B2VF4N-S316 is a robust ball valve engineered for reliable flow control in demanding industrial applications. Constructed from high-grade 316 stainless steel, this valve offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, pitting, and chemical degradation, making it a superior choice over standard brass or 304 stainless steel alternatives. It is particularly well-suited for environments involving chemical processing, petrochemicals, marine conditions, or any setting where material durability is paramount.

Designed with standard 1/4-inch Female National Pipe Thread (FNPT) connections on both ends, this valve integrates seamlessly into existing piping systems. The precision-machined internal ball ensures a tight, leak-proof seal when closed, maintaining system integrity under pressure. The valve utilizes a simple quarter-turn handle mechanism, allowing operators to instantly open or isolate the line with a single 90-degree motion. This feature is critical for emergency shut-off situations and routine maintenance cycles where speed and efficiency are required.

Durability and safety are core features of the B2VF4N-S316. The blowout-proof stem design prevents stem ejection under high pressure, providing an added layer of safety for personnel. Whether controlling the flow of water, oil, gas, or mild acids, this valve delivers consistent performance. Its compact form factor allows for installation in confined spaces without compromising on flow capacity or operational accessibility, ensuring it meets the rigorous standards of professional MRO requirements.

FAQ

This valve is made from 316 Stainless Steel, which offers higher corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel.

It features 1/4" Female National Pipe Thread (FNPT) connections on both ends.

Yes, the 316 stainless steel construction makes it highly resistant to rust and suitable for outdoor or marine environments.

It uses a quarter-turn handle. When the handle is parallel to the pipe, it is open; when perpendicular, it is closed.

Yes, ball valves of this type are generally suitable for water, oil, and gas (WOG) applications, provided the pressure is within standard limits.

Yes, the handle typically includes a vinyl sleeve for grip and comfort.

316 Stainless Steel is much stronger and significantly more resistant to corrosion and chemical attack than brass.

While not explicitly specified as full port in the SKU, industrial ball valves of this class typically offer standard flow characteristics suitable for most piping needs.
