Description
1-PC Stainless Steel Ball Valve Reduced Port, 1000 WOG
1-PC Stainless Steel Reduced Port Ball Valves provide compact quarter-turn shutoff for compatible threaded piping systems where a durable stainless steel valve body and high working-pressure capability are required. The one-piece body design offers a simple, compact construction, while the reduced-port configuration provides a smaller internal flow path than a full-port valve.
This valve features a blow-out-proof stem, a pressure balance hole in the ball slot, and a double reduced port design. The supplied product information identifies the valve as rated to 1000 WOG and manufactured in China.

One-Piece Valve Construction
A one-piece ball valve uses a compact valve body manufactured as a single primary body section. This construction minimizes the number of body joints and provides a simple, compact shutoff valve configuration.
The ball rotates through 90 degrees between the open and closed positions, providing quick quarter-turn operation for compatible piping systems.
The supplied product information identifies this valve as a stainless steel, double reduced-port design with a 1000 WOG pressure rating.
Reduced Port Design
Reduced Port
- Internal flow opening is smaller than the connected piping size
- Provides a compact valve configuration
- Introduces more flow restriction than a full-port design
- Suitable where maximum flow area is not required
- This valve is identified as double reduced port
Full Port
- Larger internal flow opening
- Designed to minimize flow restriction
- Typically produces less pressure drop through the valve
- Used where maintaining maximum flow area is important
- Different internal configuration from this valve
Valve Components & Features
Blow-Out-Proof Stem
- Designed to resist stem ejection under internal pressure
- Supports safer valve operation
- Integral part of the pressure-containing valve assembly
- Provides dependable quarter-turn control
- Designed for compatible pressurized piping systems
Pressure Balance Hole
- Pressure balance hole located in the ball slot
- Designed as part of the valve's internal ball configuration
- Helps equalize pressure within the applicable internal area
- Manufacturer-specific valve design feature
- Refer to the KV108 cut sheet for detailed construction information
1000 WOG Rating
The supplied product information identifies this valve as rated to 1000 WOG. WOG is commonly used to identify a valve pressure rating for compatible water, oil, and gas service.
Actual suitability depends on the system media, operating temperature, pressure conditions, valve size, and manufacturer limitations. Review the KV108 cut sheet before specifying the valve for a particular service.

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Verify thread type and connection compatibility with the mating piping.
- Confirm that the reduced-port configuration is appropriate for the required flow rate.
- Verify that the 1000 WOG rating is suitable for the intended system pressure.
- Confirm media compatibility with the valve's stainless steel construction and internal components.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant for the system media, pressure, and temperature.
- Apply thread sealant according to the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
- Use the appropriate valve wrenching surfaces during installation.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the valve body or piping.
- Confirm pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Installation should comply with applicable piping codes and project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pressure rating of this valve?
The supplied product information identifies this valve as rated to 1000 WOG.
What does reduced port mean?
A reduced-port valve has an internal flow opening that is smaller than the connected piping size, which results in more flow restriction than a full-port valve.
What does double reduced port mean?
The supplied product information identifies this valve specifically as a double reduced-port design. Refer to the KV108 cut sheet for the manufacturer's detailed internal geometry.
What is a blow-out-proof stem?
A blow-out-proof stem is designed to resist being forced out of the valve body by internal system pressure.
What is the pressure balance hole in the ball slot?
It is an internal valve design feature identified by the manufacturer. Refer to the KV108 cut sheet for detailed construction information.
Is this valve stainless steel?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies this as a stainless steel ball valve.
