The AKH3 Standard Port Lined Ball Valve is an ASME dimensional valve designed to replace existing valves without requiring alterations to the current piping. It is available in sizes from 1 inch (25 mm) to 12 inches (300 mm). The AKH3 is an ANSI B16.10 short pattern, 150 lbs., reduced port, lined ball valve with minimal cavity space. The floating ball design ensures a bubble-tight shut-off across a pressure range of 1 mbar to 19 bar.
