VALUE-LINE® 3-PIECE

THREADED AND
SOCKET-WELD BALL
VALVES, SERIES 3A & 3C
The Jamesbury® Value-Line Series 3 three-piece ball
valve offers exceptional economy and proven
performance. These valves are available in either
threaded or socket-weld configuration. The large port
size provides high flow while minimizing pressure
drop.

Standard body materials for the Series 3 valves are:

Carbon steel with 316 stainless-steel trim and all 316
stainless steel. The stainless body caps of the 3-series
socket weld valves are furnished with 316L (A351-CF3M)
as standard. Seat materials are PTFE and filled PTFE
which allow these valves to handle the vast majority
of commonly encountered chemicals up to the full
body rating, and steam to 250 psi (17 bar) (saturated). n Factory-engineered linkage kits are available to
Stainless-steel fasteners are standard. facilitate the mounting of electric and pneumatic
actuators.
The pressure rating of these Series Value-Line valves is
1000 psi (68 bar) CWP. The seat and seal CWP rating SPECIFICATIONS
are the same as the valve body. Seat temperature
ratings are -60 to +500°F (-50 to +260°C). Flow Data

WARNING: As the use of the valve is application specific, a number of factors should be taken into account when selecting
a valve for a given application. Therefore, some of the situations in which the valves are used are outside the scope of this
manual. If you have any questions concerning the use, application, or compatibility of the valve with the intended service,
contact Metso for more information.
