Stainless Steel Ball Valve – 3/8" Tube OD | CNG-Rated | PCTFE Seats | 1500 PSI (SMBT 6-4N)
The SBT3-S-6-CNG is a compact 3/8" tube OD ball valve designed for compressed natural gas (CNG) and light industrial gas handling applications. Rated to 1500 PSIG and built from a 316 stainless steel and brass body, it provides dependable sealing and flow control in systems where space and safety are top priorities.
The valve features PCTFE (Polychlorotrifluoroethylene) seats and a Buna O-ring for enhanced chemical resistance and tight shutoff performance. Equipped with PEEK trunnion bearings and a blowout-proof stem, the SBT3 offers extended service life and reliable operation in two-way and three-way configurations.
With a handle that includes a flow direction indicator and positive mechanical stop, this valve is a trusted component for Clean-in-Place (CIP) instrumentation, OEM fuel panels, and sanitary-grade installations. It’s ideal for tight, high-performance gas routing systems requiring precision and long-term durability.
Key Benefits
- Control: Compact design with low Cv (0.75) for precise gas regulation
- Safety: Blowout-proof stem and directional handle for secure operation
- Durability: PEEK trunnion bearings support extended cycle life
- Compatibility: Works with 3/8" stainless tubing and panel-mount layouts
- Material: 316 stainless steel and brass with chemically resistant internals
Typical Applications
- Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) skids and delivery systems
- Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) fuel system panels
- Clean-in-Place (CIP) instrumentation
- Sanitary gas handling and stainless steel fitting assemblies
- Compact instrumentation panels and shutoff stations
