Product Name
Maven Replacement Parts - Shut-Off Ball Valve for Pressure Pot Lid - 3/8 NPT Female 3/8 NPT Male
Brief Description
This Maven replacement shut-off ball valve is specifically engineered for use on the Maven Fluids Filling Machine, attaching to the pressure pot lid. It functions as an on/off valve, precisely controlling the flow of liquids or slurries dispensed from the pressurized pot.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Controlling fluid dispensing from pressure pots on filling machines- On/off flow control in industrial piping systems- Managing the flow of various liquids, slurries, and gases in manufacturing processes- Applications requiring manual control of fluid release from a pressurized container- Used in systems handling water, oil, air, and certain chemicals
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing (for fluid handling and filling operations)- Food & Beverage Company or Distributor (for dispensing viscous food products or liquids)- Chemical Industry (for controlled release of various chemical compounds)- Artist, Artisan (for dispensing paints, resins, glazes, or other materials from pressure pots in creative applications)- Prosumer (for advanced hobbyists or small-scale professional use requiring precise fluid control)- Industrial Supply (as a critical component for fluid control systems)
Special and Unique Features
- Engineered specifically for the Maven Fluids Filling Machine and its pressure pot lid- Features a corrosion-resistant chrome-plated brass housing and a brass inner-ball- Equipped with an adjustable Twist-Ring-style for configurable portioning flow settings- Compact size and lightweight design facilitate easy manual operation- Designed for easy disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly- Provides reliable on/off control with a quarter-turn operation
Key Properties
- Connection Type: 3/8 NPT Female inlet to 3/8 NPT Male outlet- Material: Chrome-plated brass housing, brass inner-ball- Operating Viscosity: Suitable for 1 to 100,000 cps- Operating Style: Manual control- Air Source Requirement: 4-7Kgf/cm (if part of a pneumatic system)- Minimum Discharge: 1ml- Outlet Diameter: 3.0mm- Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced by chrome-plated brass construction
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with various fluid media including water, oil, air, and certain chemicals, depending on the specific application and chemical resistance of brass and chrome plating- Designed for use with pressure pot lids, typically made of metal or robust plastics, found on fluid filling machines
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other 3/8 NPT ball valves made from materials like stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 stainless steel) or PVC, depending on the fluid compatibility and pressure requirements- Different types of shut-off valves (e.g., gate valves, plug valves) could serve a similar shut-off function, but may lack the quick quarter-turn operation or specific design for pressure pot lids- Inline shut-off ball valves with similar NPT threading, though they might not have the specific design for a pressure pot lid
Comparison Note
While many general-purpose 3/8 NPT ball valves exist, this Maven replacement part is specifically engineered for optimal performance and fit on the Maven Fluids Filling Machine's pressure pot lid. Its adjustable flow settings and corrosion-resistant brass construction are tailored for fluid dispensing applications, offering a precise and reliable solution compared to generic valves that may not integrate as seamlessly or offer the same level of control for viscous materials.
