Collection:Stainless Steel Ball Valves For Gas

Explore Tameson's wide range of stainless steel gas ball valves from various global manufacturers. These ball valves conform to the DIN - EN 331 standard. This standard specifies the requirements for ball valves for use in gas installations in buildings and assures the safety and performance of the valves.

Stainless steel gas ball valves are identified by the yellow color of the handles. The selection of stainless steel gas ball valves includes ISO-top valves with a mounting flange in accordance with ISO 5211. Due to this standardization, different brands/types of actuators can be used to drive the valve. There are various flange sizes in the ISO 5211 standard, such as F03, F04, and F05. Ensure that the actuator uses the same flange size and diameter as the drive shaft.

The range of available stainless steel gas ball valves can be operated manually by a handle. Turning the handle a quarter turn will open or close the valve. When the handle is in line with the pipe, the valve is open, and when the handle is perpendicular to the pipe, the valve is closed. This allows for easy visual identification on whether a two-way ball valve is open or closed.

The selection includes a wide choice of full-bore versions with an unobstructed flow path and excellent flow characteristics. 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 steel 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.
