1-1/2" FNPT 316 Stainless Ball Valve
This two-piece, full-port ball valve is built from 316 stainless steel for air, steam and water service. It suits plant maintenance teams and process engineers who need a manually operated, inline shut-off with a locking handle for safety lockout procedures.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
The valve contains no powered or moving electrical components, so it produces no heat, noise or power draw during operation. Pressure ratings define its operating envelope instead: 1,000 psi maximum operating pressure, 150 psi for steam and a vacuum service rating of 29.9 in Hg.
Replaces Non-Locking or Lower-Rated Valves
It upgrades installations that use non-locking handles or bodies rated below 1,000 psi, giving a full-port flow path and positive lockout capability. The jump is not worth it for systems requiring 3-A sanitary certification or combustible-gas ratings, neither of which this model carries.
Highlights
- Full-port design maintains unrestricted flow
- 316 stainless steel body resists corrosion

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1-1/2" FNPT valve and what threading mistake should I avoid?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe sealant to the male threads, then tighten the valve onto the pipe using a wrench on the hex flats; do not overtighten the female NPT threads or the stainless body can crack.
What maintenance will the 316 stainless steel ball valve need over time?
Cycle the locking handle monthly to prevent seizing, inspect the stem packing for leaks, and replace the seat seals if drip appears at full 1,000 psi rating.
At what pressure limit does the valve show stress first during sustained steam service?
The 150 psi steam rating is the first ceiling reached; sustained steam above that pressure will degrade the seals before the 1,000 psi water rating becomes relevant.
