316 Stainless Steel Shut-Off Valves
These shut-off valves are designed as ball valves with female threads for water shut-off. The variants differ primarily in their nominal size from 1/2 inch to 2 inches and their specified pressure class.
Choose Shut-Off Valves by Size
The category includes water shut-off valves with female threads. For a narrow line, the 1/2-inch ball valve is the smallest variant. The 3/4-inch and 1-inch ball valves form the middle sizes. Larger lines can be matched to models with 1 1/4 inches, 1 1/2 inches or 2 inches. Before choosing, check the existing dimension of your connection and note that these valves have a female thread. A counterpart with a suitable male thread or a suitable connection solution is therefore required.
All product cards show the size directly in the name. This lets you compare the appropriate variants before checking the technical specifications on the product detail page.
Material, Pressure and Design
According to the product specifications, the listed ball valves are made of 316 stainless steel. The descriptions describe this material as corrosion-resistant. The models with 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1 1/4 inches and 1 1/2 inches have a specified working pressure of up to 64 bar. The 2-inch ball valve is also described as a high-pressure variant of up to 64 bar. This allows the pressure specification to be matched directly to your installation.
Two variants are additionally described as having a two-piece construction. PTFE seals are specified for individual models. These details appear on the respective product detail pages and should be checked there for concrete planning.
Frequently Asked Questions About Shut-Off Valves
Which thread sizes are available?
The selection ranges from 1/2 inch through 3/4 inch, 1 inch and 1 1/4 inches to 1 1/2 inches. In addition, there is a ball valve with a 2-inch female thread. The exact designation is given in each product name.
What pressure are the valves designed for?
The cards showing the five presented sizes specify a working pressure of up to 64 bar. The 2-inch ball valve is likewise described with a working pressure of up to 64 bar. Compare this value with the actual system pressure of your line.
What are the shut-off valves made of?
The product descriptions specify 316 stainless steel. This material is described there as corrosion-resistant. Individual models also mention PTFE seals.
How do you find the right connection solution?
Shut-off valves in this category have a female thread. Therefore, determine the dimension and connection type of the existing system. Suitable hoses, connectors or manifolds can be found in the adjacent compressed-air technology sections.

In addition to shut-off valves with female threads, there are adjacent assortments for other connection types. Pressure hoses serve as flexible connections between components. Variants with male threads or hose nozzles expand the selection when the counterpart has a different connection. Anyone who wants to merge several lines will find corresponding solutions under manifolds and sets.
Technical checks before assembly remain important: the matching thread dimension, compatible connection type and sufficient pressure class determine the choice of shut-off valve.
