Stainless Steel 3 Piece Hygienic Weld OD Ball Valve – Lockable Lever Operated (BS4825 Compliant)
The Stainless Steel 3 Piece Hygienic Weld OD Ball Valve is purpose-built for clean process industries where sanitary conditions, high flow capacity, and ease of maintenance are critical. Designed in compliance with BS4825 and manufactured from A351 CF8M (316 stainless steel), this full bore hygienic valve ensures minimal flow restriction, superior corrosion resistance, and clean-in-place (CIP) compatibility. It is ideal for applications in food & beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic processing systems.
This 3-piece construction allows for easy disassembly and cleaning without disturbing surrounding pipework, a major advantage in hygienic systems. The OD weld ends are precision-machined to ensure seamless integration with hygienic tubing, promoting a crevice-free, smooth internal bore to prevent contamination and bacteria buildup. Fitted with PTFE or reinforced seats, the valve offers tight shutoff, low operating torque, and resistance to aggressive cleaning agents. The lockable lever handle provides secure manual control and tamper resistance—ideal for safety-critical process lines.
