Anvil 4351011360 Steam Service Ball Valve 1/4 in Fnpt

Product Description

The ANVIL 4351011360 is a 1-piece manual ball valve rated for steam service applications. It features a carbon steel body with a stainless steel finish coating and a Graphoil seal, allowing it to handle the high pressures and temperatures common in steam systems. The valve is rated to 2000 psi and uses FNPT x FNPT end connections in a 1/4 inch pipe size. A locking lever handle provides positive shutoff and helps prevent accidental operation in service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of valve in steam distribution and process piping systems.

This valve is suited for steam service in commercial and industrial mechanical systems where a compact, high-pressure shutoff is required. The 1/4 inch pipe size makes it appropriate for instrument lines, branch connections, and control piping on boilers and steam distribution headers. The standard port configuration and FNPT x FNPT connections are compatible with standard threaded pipe assemblies conforming to ASME B1.20.1 (NPT). Its 1-piece body construction reduces potential leak points compared to multi-piece designs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded ball valve for 1/4 inch steam service piping systems using FNPT connections per ASME B1.20.1 (NPT).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Depressurize and isolate the steam system completely before removing or installing any valve. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for steam service on NPT threads. Verify that system operating pressure does not exceed the valve maximum working pressure rating of 2000 psi before returning the line to service.
