Swagelok Whitey SS-2RS4 Needle Valve 1/4" Tube 316 Stainless Steel

The Swagelok Whitey SS-2RS4 is a high-quality stainless steel needle valve designed for precise flow control in instrumentation and process systems. Constructed from durable 316 stainless steel, this valve offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for a wide range of gases and liquids. It features an integral bonnet design for safety and reliability, with a regulating stem for fine adjustment of flow. The 1/4" Swagelok tube fittings provide leak-tight connections without the need for threading or flaring, making installation quick and reliable. This valve is ideal for applications in chemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and laboratory environments where accurate metering and shutoff are critical. Key features include a high pressure rating up to 5000 psig, a broad temperature range from -65°F to 600°F, and a compact design for easy integration into tight spaces. Advantages over similar products from competitors like Parker or Ham-Let include superior build quality, longer service life, and better leak integrity, though it may come at a higher initial cost. Drawbacks could include the requirement for compatible Swagelok fittings and potential over-specification for low-pressure applications.
