350-SL-5-TTT-L-100 Flo-Tite 4" Stainless Steel 3 Piece Ball Valves, Multi-Choice Sanitary 350

The Flo-Tite 350-SL / 370-series is designed as a split body, three piece construction, to allow ease of access for maintenance of the valve ball and seat without special tools. This line of valves utilizes the "free floating" ball principle. The ball is not fixed, but is free to move with the line pressure. As a result, these valves are capable of tight shut off with the flow in either direction or dead-ended, regardless of the position of the valve in the line. The downstream seat, which is opposite the pressurized side of a closed valve, must carry the load exerted by the line pressure on the ball, while the upstream seat is subject to little load or wear. For this reason, it is sometimes possible to increase useful seat life by turning the valve end to end in the pipeline.

Features:

• Flo-Tite’s Sanitary Ball Valves offer a high fi nish in both its standard surface of Ra 25-30. Optional fi ner Ra and Electropolish fi nish available thru 8-12 Ra.
• True Bore Port Design eliminates pooling traces of media and improves flow characteristics for greater efficiency.
• Full body cavity fi llers available to reduce the possibility of contamination by entrapment of process fl uids in the void normally found between the ball and valve body in conventionally designed ball valves. Cavity fi llers are a major plus in applications where cross-contamination is a concern.
• C.I.P. valves - clean-in-place
• All valve ends incorporate a special boss for welding purge port connections.
• Extended tube ends are suitable for in-line Automatic Orbital Welding without disassembly.
• Safety lock handle Prevents accidental movement of valve handles.
