Built to API 608, with ANSI 300# flanges.
A quarter-turn ball valve that bolts into the line through ANSI 300# flanges, in 1½″ to 6″ (DN40 to DN150). The body is cast carbon steel ASTM A216 WCB, designed and manufactured to API 608, with face-to-face to ASME B16.10 and wall thickness to ASME B16.34.
This is not a stainless valve, and the name does not make that obvious. The ball and stem are 304 — A240 304 and A182 F304 — not 316, and the body is carbon steel. For water, air, oil and general non-corrosive service it is a perfectly good valve and a cheaper one. For anything aggressive, the SS316 variant on the same flange is the answer.
A216 WCB body, A240 304 ball, A182 F304 stem. Corrosion resistance is well below the SS316 variants — if corrosion is the reason stainless was specified, this is not the substitute.
Flexible graphite packing (item 18) and a graphite-faced gasket (17a) take more heat than PTFE and behave better under thermal cycling. On hot, clean, non-corrosive duty that is a real point in its favour.
Item 24, SS304. This is one of only two flange end variants that list one — the four SS316 variants do not. A ball turning on PTFE seats is electrically isolated; this bonds it back to the body, and it matters on hydrocarbons.
A193 B7 studs with A194 2H nuts — alloy-steel pressure bolting. The SS316 variants use SS304 fasteners: more corrosion-resistant, lower strength.
1½″ to 6″, six sizes — the narrowest range of the six flange end variants. Below 1½″ at Class 300, use the ANSI 300 SS316, which starts at 1/2″.
Higher than the Class 300 SS316 variant (6.0 and 4.4 MPa) — same class, different figures, because the catalogue sources differ. It does not mean a higher working rating.
All photographs of the stocked item, not renders.
Cast carbon steel body, painted. The shape is heavier and more ribbed than a stainless body — that is the A216 WCB casting.
Raised face and bolt holes. This is the face that has to match your pipework — bolt circle D1 and hole pattern n-d in the size table.
Zinc-plated A216 WCB lever with the packing gland beneath it — items 26 and 10 on the parts list. The packing inside is flexible graphite, not PTFE.

ANSI 300# will not bolt to JIS 10K or PN10/16, whatever the pressure rating says.
1½″, 2″, 2½″, 3″, 4″ then 6″. There is no 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, 1¼″ or 5″ in this range.
99.20 kg at 6″ against 50.7 kg for the Class 150 cast steel valve at the same size. That is the measure of how much thicker a Class 300 body is.
99.20 kg at 6″ and 48.50 kg at 4″. A flanged valve must not hang on the pipework — and these sizes need lifting gear.
W 272 mm at 6″ and 200 mm at 4″, and it needs a clear 90° sweep. Column K gives the overall height to the end of the lever.
Numbered to match the item numbers below — including the lettered ones (17a, 19a, 19c, 20a). The section shows the bolted body and body connector, the PTFE seats, and the graphite packing stack around the stem.

They are the callout numbers from the sectional drawing — which skip, and some of which carry letters. We have left them exactly as published so a spares order matches the drawing.
The rest is graphite packing and a graphite-faced gasket. That is the biggest material difference from the SS316 variants, which seal on PTFE throughout.
A240 304 ball and A182 F304 stem, inside a carbon steel body. If the fluid calls for 316, this is not the valve.
SS304, fitted as standard — and absent from every SS316 parts list in this range.
Not the graphite, and not the body. Graphite would take far more; the seat is what stops it — and on this variant the catalogue sets that at 100 °C.
Factory proof tests. Not working pressures.
| Item | Value |

| Body test | 7.8 MPa |
| Seat test | 5.6 MPa |
| Hermetic sealing test | 0.6 MPa |
| Max working temperature | 100 °C |
They are manufacturing proof tests well above the working rating. The valve is not intended to operate there.
3.0/5.6 MPa against 2.4/1.8 MPa — same class, different figures, because the two families come from different catalogue sources with different test regimes. It does not mean this valve has a higher working rating.
The other five flange end variants state −29 to 150 °C. This one says 100 °C, as printed. If you need Class 300 at 150 °C, that is the ANSI 300 SS316.
Flange standard first, then material.
All six, side by side: the comparison table.
Dimensions and part numbers are in the catalogue, as printed; stock and price are not — send the list and we confirm both.
No. The body is cast carbon steel ASTM A216 WCB, and the ball and stem are 304 (A240 and A182 F304), not 316. It is a perfectly good valve for water, air, oil and general non-corrosive service — and it is not a substitute for SS316 where corrosion is the reason stainless was specified. If you need stainless on the same flange, use the ANSI 300 SS316.
Three things. Lower cost. Flexible graphite packing and a graphite-faced gasket, which take more heat than PTFE and behave better under thermal cycling. And stronger bolting: A193 B7 studs with A194 2H nuts are alloy-steel pressure bolting, where the SS316 variants use SS304 fasteners that are more corrosion-resistant but lower strength.
Yes — item 24, SS304, fitted as standard. This is one of only two flange end variants that list one; the four SS316 variants do not. A ball turning on PTFE seats is electrically isolated, and the anti-static device bonds it back to the body. It matters on hydrocarbon duty.
Because that is how the catalogue prints it. The other five flange end variants state −29 to 150 °C; this one states 100 °C. We publish it as printed and flag it. If you need Class 300 at 150 °C, use the ANSI 300 SS316, which states the full range — or ask us to confirm with the factory first.
They are the manufacturer's numbers — the callout numbers from the sectional drawing (17a, 19a, 19c, 20a and so on), not a tidied sequential list. We have left them exactly as published so a spares order matches the drawing.
Because that is how the range is published: 1½″ to 6″ (DN40 to DN150), six sizes — the narrowest of the six variants. Below 1½″ at Class 300, use the ANSI 300 SS316, which starts at 1/2″.
Shell 7.8 MPa, seat 5.6 MPa, gas tightness 0.6 MPa. Note those are higher than the Class 300 SS316 variant at 6.0 and 4.4 MPa — same class, different figures, because the two families come from different catalogue sources with different test regimes. It does not mean this valve has a higher working rating.
No. An ANSI 300# flange will not mate with JIS 10K or PN10/16. The bolt circle, hole count and hole diameter all differ. Check the existing flange before ordering.
