Mini Ball Valves Stainless Steel

Explore Tameson’s wide range of stainless steel mini ball valves from various global manufacturers. A mini ball valve is suitable for applications where the installation space is limited. The 2-way function of a mini ball valve means it has two ports (an inlet and an outlet) and a ball with a bore in it. They are operated by a manual hand lever to turn the ball 90 degrees. Simply turn the handle perpendicular to the pipe to close it and parallel to the pipe to open it. This allows for easy visual identification on whether a two-way ball valve is open or closed.

The ball valve's stainless steel housing makes them very durable and often a good housing material choice as it generally has a very good overall chemical resistance to almost any medium. Stainless steel is capable of working with aggressive media. These valves are also suitable for water, oil, compressed air, fuels, solvents, and vacuum. The material is highly wear, temperature, and pressure resistant. However, stainless ball valves are unsuitable for hydrochloric acids, chlorides, bromine, and household bleach. Swimming pool water has a low concentration of chlorides, and therefore stainless steel 316 can still be used.
