Block Valve

Stainless steel fitting designed to isolate sections of an industrial piping system for maintenance, repair, or flow control. Ideal for contractors, this valve provides a secure shut-off to prevent fluid or gas movement when needed. Installation is quick and flamelessโ€”simply press-fit the valve between pipes for a leak-free seal without welding or threading. Made from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, it ensures durability in demanding environments. With elastomeric seals that absorb vibration and thermal expansion, this valve is perfect for water, steam, air, and chemical applications, delivering long-term reliability and safety.
