SS 304 Ball Valve

What is an SS 304 Ball Valve?

An SS 304 Ball Valve is a shut-off valve made from AISI 304 stainless steel, known for its:

  • High tensile strength
  • Excellent corrosion resistance in water and air
  • Smooth operation with minimal maintenance
  • Compatibility with mild chemicals, compressed air, steam, and clean fluids

It’s widely used in water treatment, general plumbing, HVAC, and utility piping.

Common Applications of SS 304 Ball Valves

  1. Water pipelines and utilities
  2. Steam isolation lines (with PTFE/graphite seat)
  3. HVAC chilled and hot water control
  4. Compressed air and gas shut-off
  5. RO & filtration skids
  6. Low-acidity chemical transfer
  7. Clean fluid lines in food & pharma setups
  8. Fire water and booster pump systems

Available Types

  • 2-Way SS 304 Ball Valve – For standard shut-off
  • 3-Way L / T Port Valve – For diversion or mixing
  • Sanitary SS 304 Valve – Tri-clamp end for hygienic use
  • Fire-Safe 304 Valve – Graphite-sealed for critical systems
  • Automation-Ready Valve – Electric/Pneumatic actuator compatible

Installation & Maintenance Tips

  • Always use 304-compatible gaskets and flanges
  • Avoid contact with chloride-rich fluids (may cause pitting)
  • Mount vertically where possible for ease of access
  • For steam, use graphite packing and vent after system shutdown
  • Periodically operate valve to prevent seat hardening

FAQs

Not recommended for chloride or acidic environments. Use SS 316 or Alloy 20.
