Brewing accessories Stainless Steel Ball Valve Quarter-turn NPT Thread SUS304 SUS316 1000WOG Works for Homebrew Kettle Keg Pump Wort Chiller Brewing accessories(Two-piece MF 316)

Stainless steel ball valves are almost a necessity in homebrewing. These are most commonly used on your kettle, allowing you to control the flow of your liquids during transfers. Using stainless steel ball valves is recommended, as these will come in direct contact with your wort, and using anything other than stainless could leave a metalic taste in your beer. Stainless steel ball valves are also easier to keep clean, and will last longer.What's the difference between Standard Port Valve and Full Port Valve ?Reduced port valveshave an opening that is smaller than the diameter of the piping. The media flow through the valve is limited to 75%. Reduced port valves have higher pressure drops.Full port valveshave a ball with a bore equal to the inside diameter of the pipe. The advantage to this design is they minimize the pressure drop across the valve and keep the flow from being restricted as it flows. They can be used for throttling applications.Why call the valves One-piece Ball Valve, Two-piece Ball Valve, Three-piece Ball Valve ?One-piece ball valvesare installed as a unit. The retainer holds the ball and seal. Compression of the seal is controlled by increasing or decreasing the tightness of the threading holding the retainer. A one-piece ball valve must balance theintegrity of the seal against the friction between the ball and seal.Two-piece ball valvesallow for easier assembly. The body is split into two pieces and the configuration uses a floating ball. The two body pieces are combined with a flange and bolts. This design makes servicing the valve easy and the procedure can be done in-lineThree-piece ball valves offer easy and fast access for valve maintenance. The three-body connector can be removed and the fourth can be loosened to allow the body to swing away to carry out installation or maintenance.==========Hign-concerned Chemical : NoneMaterial : STAINLESS STEEL
