Part No. MV5-SM3
The Dwyer MV5-SM3 Mini Brass Ball Valve is designed for manual shutoff applications where installation space is limited and a standard-size valve may not fit. This 3/8" model features male x female NPT process connections and a screwdriver slot handle for straightforward manual operation.
Pure PTFE ball seats provide bubble-tight shutdown, while the double seal mechanism allows the valve to be installed in either flow direction. The chrome-plated brass body and ball provide compact and durable construction, while the fluoroelastomer O-ring stem seal supports reliable sealing.
Rated for 450 psi CWP, with an operating pressure range from -29" Hg vacuum to 450 psi (31 bar), the MV5-SM3 is suitable for compressed air, instrumentation and general utility shutoff applications in panels, skids and other space-constrained installations.
