FloLok 306-3-316 Stainless Steel 3-Way Ball Valve 1/4" Female NPT x 1/4" Female NPT

The FloLok 306-3-316 is a high-performance 3-way ball valve designed for precise flow control in industrial and instrumentation applications. Constructed from durable 316 stainless steel, this valve offers excellent corrosion resistance and reliability in harsh environments, making it ideal for chemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and water treatment systems. Its compact design features 1/4" female NPT connections on all ports, allowing for versatile diversion or mixing of fluids. Key benefits include low torque operation for easy actuation, a full port design for minimal pressure drop, and a pressure rating up to 3,000 psi, outperforming many plastic or brass alternatives in high-pressure scenarios. Drawbacks may include higher cost compared to lower-grade materials and the need for compatible actuation if automation is required. This model excels in applications requiring sanitary conditions or resistance to aggressive media, with advantages over similar products like those from Swagelok or Parker due to its cost-effectiveness and Made in USA quality. Condition: New in original packaging, assembled and tested in 2006, with no visible wear. Includes faceplate details such as part number 306-3-316 and barcode. No parent/child assets noted. Estimated listing price: $50-$100 USD (based on comparable new surplus sales on eBay and industrial suppliers; e.g., similar SS 3-way valves retail new at $80-120).
