Overview
The OVC 256FT ball valve is a manual, full-port ball valve engineered for dependable flow control in industrial piping systems. With a 3/8″ WCB (Women’s pipe thread) connection and a 2000 WOG (working pressure rating), this valve delivers robust performance in hydraulic, pneumatic, and general industrial applications where seal integrity and operational reliability are critical.
Key Features
- Manual operation for simple, field-friendly control
- Full-port design minimizes flow restriction
- Carbon steel body (WCB) ensures corrosion resistance in standard industrial environments
- 2000 WOG pressure rating supports high-pressure applications
- 3/8″ female pipe thread (NPT) connection for quick installation
- Compact form factor suitable for space-constrained installations
