Hard to find valve, need help!

Hard to find valve, need help!

Hard to find valve, need help!

(OP)
Looking for a 3-way ball valve, 3/4" FNPT end connections, L-port configuration. The kicker, process is 700 Degrees F & 3000psi. Media is Bio Fuels. Anybody know of a manufacturer? Will need metal seats.

Thanks in advanced,

Try CCI, Xomox or Valtech

RE: Hard to find valve, need help!

I take it that using two off two way valves (linked if you like)fitted to a Tee is out of the question? I think that this would probably be more effective, cheaper and easier to source.

PeterIGG, Your option has been my plan if I can't source the valve. Thanks.

Stanier, Thanks, I'll give them a call.

Much appreciate both inputs!!

RE: Hard to find valve, need help!

What the @#()) are you going to use for a thread sealant for 700 F at 3000 psig? Might I recommend using WELDING as your thread sealant?

Cameron (TBV) or perhaps Flowserve (Noble Alloy Valve) might be able to make you a barstock valve that suits your needs, as long as you're realistic about the seal-tightness you can expect out of the metal seats. Two two-ways would be way easier to find and a more practical fit to your process conditions: link the handles if you must. But forget about the NPT end connections. At least weld on some Swagelok fittings or something!
