American Valve 4001 3in 316SS Flanged Full Port Ball Valve

Product Description

The AMERICAN VALVE 4001 3in is a 3-inch, full-port ball valve constructed entirely from 316 stainless steel, including the body, ball, and stem. It is designed for use in demanding fluid control applications where corrosion resistance and flow efficiency are required. The flanged end connections allow for straightforward inline installation in piping systems. Certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 for drinking water safety, and rated to API 607 for fire-safe performance, this valve is appropriate for potable water, industrial process, and other regulated service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This valve is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where a full-bore shutoff is required at a 3-inch line size. The all-stainless construction makes it a reliable choice in corrosive environments, wet mechanical rooms, chemical exposure areas, or any system where iron or brass valves would be inappropriate. The included handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation to fully open or fully close the flow path.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel body, ball, and trim for superior corrosion resistance
• Full port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve
Flanged end connections for secure inline installation
• NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certified for potable water service
• API 607 rated for fire-safe performance
• Includes operator handle for quarter-turn actuation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flanged ball valve for 3-inch piping systems requiring 316 stainless steel construction and full-port flow.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B16.5 flange standards. Shut off system pressure and drain the line completely before removing or installing the valve. Confirm gasket material compatibility with the process fluid before torquing flange bolts. Verify valve orientation and flow direction prior to final assembly.
