3-A certified as meeting sanitary design standards, these valves control the flow of liquids in food, dairy, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic plants. Made of stainless steel, they won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. They have a highly polished surface, leaving no crevices for bacteria to grow. These valves connect to quick-clamp fittings—also known as tri-clamp fittings—so they’re easily taken apart for frequent sanitizing.

Valves open to the full port size, so they won’t restrict flow. They can be disassembled by hand since their two-piece body is held together by bolts and wing nuts, making them easier to take apart for cleaning than traditional three-piece ball valves. The mica-filled PTFE seal resists food-processing chemicals, organic food acids, and fat and oil. It resists high heat and pressure better than standard PTFE seals.
