Ball valves with one-piece packing and blowout proof stems

for analytical and process instrumentation, control systems and a variety of other applications. The one-piece body reduces the number of potential leak points. The company describes the one- piece design is the go-to valve solution in analytical

SSP, a specialist in stainless steel and nickel-based alloy fluid system components, assemblies and CNG fuelling applications, has added its newest line of 40 series ball valves to its growing FloLok ® brand line of valves. The first sizes available will be the FloLok 41, 42 and 43 series valves, with end connections from 1 / 16 " to 3 / 8 ", as well as corresponding metric sizes. Larger 44 and 45 series valves will be available later. “We are very excited with this announcement because the new 40 series valves offer a tremendous opportunity to provide SSP customers with a superior valve from the same SSP distributor supplying them instrument tube fittings and tubing,” commented Reed Stith, director of marketing for SSP.

contain modified PTFE packing for chemical compatibility and extended life over a wide range of temperatures (-65 to 300°F). The 40 series ball valves do not rely on system pressure to seal, and so seal equally well at both high and low pressures. Remote sensors can be mounted in handles to determine open/ close position.
