3" 3 Piece Socket Weld Ball Valve – Inline Serviceable Full Port Design

The 3" three piece full port socket weld ball valve is designed for welded industrial piping systems requiring reliable shut-off, permanent installation, and high flow capacity. Its split-body construction allows the center section to be removed for inspection or seat replacement while the welded end connections remain in place.

Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this 3 piece socket weld ball valve provides corrosion resistance and durability in industrial environments. The full port internal bore maintains maximum flow capacity with minimal pressure drop.

Rated to 1000 WOG, this socket weld valve installs into welded piping systems and delivers dependable sealing performance through PTFE seats and a blowout-proof stem design.
