316L SS Tri-Clamp Ball Valve for CLS

The 316L Stainless Steel Tri-Clamp Ball Valve is a sanitary-style flow-control component for compatible process equipment and closed-loop assemblies. Published construction includes a 316L stainless-steel body, Tri-Clamp connections, a quarter-turn locking handle, and a three-piece PTFE-encapsulated core that can be serviced or rebuilt as needed.

Available connection information includes a 1-inch flow size that fits a 1.5-inch Tri-Clamp connection, along with 1.5-inch and 2-inch size references. Confirm the exact ordered size, mating ferrules, gaskets, clamps, and tubing before installation. The published temperature range is -20°C to +150°C, but the allowable operating envelope of an assembled system is determined by its lowest-rated component.

A Tri-Clamp ball valve can be used to open, close, or restrict flow in a compatible process line. Valve position does not by itself establish flow rate, pressure, vacuum level, or process performance. Media compatibility should be evaluated for the stainless steel, PTFE core, gasket material, and all other wetted components.

The original supplier information states that this valve was nitrogen leak-tested. That statement should not be interpreted as a universal leak-proof guarantee or as a substitute for system-level testing after installation. Inspect sealing surfaces and components before use, assemble with compatible hardware, and never exceed documented pressure, temperature, or chemical-compatibility limits.

The 316L SS Tri-Clamp Ball Valve provides serviceable quarter-turn flow control for compatible laboratory and process assemblies. Pair it with correctly sized Tri-Clamp hardware such as our High Pressure Clamp when appropriate for the documented system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are listed for this ball valve?

The published construction includes a 316L stainless steel body and a serviceable three-piece PTFE-encapsulated core.

Does a one-inch flow size mean a one-inch Tri-Clamp connection?

Not necessarily. Published information lists a one-inch flow size that fits a 1.5-inch Tri-Clamp connection. Verify the selected variant and mating ferrules.

What temperature range is published?

The listed range is -20°C to +150°C. The complete system must stay within the limits of its lowest-rated component.
