SHARPE F60 THREADED 1/2″ BALL VALVE 316 STAINLESS 6000 PSI MAX LOCKING HANDLE CF8M

SHARPE F60: High-Pressure Threaded Ball Valve, 316 Stainless Steel, 6000 PSI with Locking Handle

Professional Overview:
The SHARPE F60 is a premium, full-port ball valve engineered for extreme-pressure applications. Built from investment-cast CF8M (316 Stainless Steel), it is designed to handle corrosive fluids, high pressures up to 6000 PSI, and demanding industrial environments. The integrated locking handle provides critical safety and position security, making it an ideal choice for hydraulic systems, chemical processing, oil & gas, and high-purity applications.

Detailed Technical Specifications & Features:

• Valve Type: Full-Bore Ball Valve. Provides minimal flow restriction and pressure drop when open.

• Size & Connection: 1/2″ NPT (National Pipe Taper) threaded ends. Ensures a secure, seal-tight connection for piping systems.

• Pressure Rating: MAX 6000 PSI (413 BAR). This exceptionally high rating signifies a robust design with a substantial safety margin for severe service.

• Body Material: 316 Stainless Steel (CF8M). This designation indicates the valve is cast to ASTM A351 standards.

  • CF8M is the cast equivalent of wrought 316 SS, offering superior corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and acids, compared to 304/CF8 stainless.

• Seals & Ball: Typically features reinforced PTFE (Teflon) or similar seats/seals compatible with a wide temperature range and various media. The ball is precision-machined 316 stainless for a reliable shut-off.

• Handle: Locking Handle. A crucial safety feature that allows the valve to be secured in the open or closed position with a padlock (lock not included). This prevents unauthorized or accidental operation, complying with lockout/tagout (LOTO) safety procedures.

• Design: Two-piece or three-piece construction for easier maintenance. Chrome-plated stem for added corrosion resistance and smooth operation.

• Temperature Range: Suitable for a wide range, typically from -20°F to 450°F (-29°C to 232°C), dependent on seal material.

• Standards: Manufactured to meet or exceed industry standards for dimension, pressure, and material integrity.
