About Dixon SSLBV38 Stainless Steel 316 Ball
This Dixon SSLBV38 ball valve is made of 316 stainless steel, which is higher strength and more corrosion resistant than regular stainless steel, and has a plastic-covered lockable lever handle for locking into place with a portable lock (not included), and a blow-out proof stem to reduce leakage and valve damage. It has PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) seats for resistance to chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures and a joint gasket and thrust washer to prevent wear and leakage. This inline valve has a full port flow for higher operating efficiency than standard port and 3/8" female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting two male threaded pipe fittings going in the same direction. It is pressure rated to 1000 pounds per square inch (psi) for cold working pressure (CWP) at an operating temperature range of -20 to 450 degrees F, 100 psi for saturated steam. This full port ball valve is suitable for use in water, oil and gas applications. Ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is allowed when the hole that pierces the ball-shaped disc is in line with the inlet and outlet of the valve and is blocked when the ball is horizontally swiveled 90 degrees, so that the hole of the ball is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Ball valves can be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard port) depending on the inner diameter or the valve. A ball valve is full port if the hole of the ball is the same size as the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline (resulting in lower friction) and termed reduced port if the hole of the valve is one pipe size smaller than the pipe, resulting in less flow through the valve than through the shaft of the pipe. Ball valves may have a handle or lever that aligns with the ball’s position (open or closed) for manual operation. They are primarily used in air, gas, liquid, and steam applications. Dixon Valve & Coupling Company manufactures pipe and hose fittings and accessories. The company, founded in 1916, is headquartered in Chestertown, MD.
