Whitey SS-6LRF4 3/8" Stainless Steel Angle Pattern Needle Valve

The Whitey SS-6LRF4 is a high-quality, angle pattern needle valve designed for precise flow control in industrial fluid systems. Manufactured from durable 316 stainless steel, this valve features a compact elbow configuration with a 3/8" Swagelok tube fitting on one end and a 1/4" female NPT connection on the other, making it ideal for applications requiring tight shutoff and fine metering in confined spaces. It is commonly used in instrumentation, process control, and laboratory settings for gases and liquids, offering reliable performance in corrosive environments. Key benefits include excellent leak-tight sealing, easy operation via the ergonomic knob handle, and resistance to high pressures and temperatures. Compared to similar products from competitors like Parker or Ham-Let, the Whitey series provides superior build quality and longevity, with fewer maintenance needs due to its integral bonnet design. Drawbacks may include a higher initial cost and the need for compatible Swagelok fittings for optimal integration. This valve excels in applications such as hydraulic systems, chemical processing, and analytical instrumentation, where precision and reliability are paramount. Based on image analysis, the unit appears to be in new or like-new condition with no visible wear, scratches, or corrosion. No serial number is evident on the faceplate, and there are no attached parent/child assets like sensors.
