3/8 in. Female NPT Stainless Steel Mini Ball Valve
3/8 in. Female NPT Stainless Steel Mini Ball Valve
Overview
The Midland Industries 46923SS is a 3/8 in. mini ball valve machined from 316 stainless steel with Female NPT x Female NPT (FPT x FPT) end connections. It is rated to 1000 psi WOG across -36 to 368°F, with a PTFE seat and PTFE seals for corrosion resistance and clean media. A quarter-turn handle gives positive shutoff for instrumentation, sampling, compressed-air, and corrosive-service lines.
