What This Valve Does

The Dynaquip Controls VLE2.AK0P is a manual two-way ball valve built for water service. Its carbon-steel body and chrome-plated carbon-steel ball handle full-port flow in a straight, two-piece design. The 3/8-inch female NPT threads suit inline plumbing installations where reliable shut-off is required. This new component meets the needs of installers specifying carbon-steel valves for water lines.

Pressure And Vacuum Limits

Operating pressure reaches 3,000 psi for water, while steam service is limited to 150 psi. Vacuum capability extends to 29 in Hg. Combustible gas and 3-A sanitary compliance are not rated, so the valve must not be used in those applications. These boundaries define the safe envelope for system designers selecting this valve.

Build And Daily Use

Carbon-steel construction with a locking handle provides durability and prevents accidental operation. The full-port ball maintains unrestricted flow when open. Female NPT threads allow direct connection to standard pipe fittings without adapters. The two-piece body simplifies maintenance access while the locking feature adds security in industrial or commercial settings.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3/8 in carbon steel version or a different size for my water line?

The VLE2.AK0P is a 3/8 in nominal size carbon steel ball valve rated for water service at up to 3,000 psi operating pressure.

What does the 3,000 psi operating pressure mean when the valve is installed?

It indicates the maximum non-shock pressure the valve can handle continuously with water at ambient temperature in a straight inline run.

How does the FNPT threading affect the pressure rating?

The female NPT threads seal with taper engagement; the 3,000 psi rating applies to the complete assembly when properly tightened and supported.
