Description
1-PC Stainless Steel Ball Valve Reduced Port, 800 WOG
1-PC Stainless Steel Reduced Port Ball Valves provide compact quarter-turn shutoff for compatible piping systems where corrosion resistance and dependable isolation are required. The one-piece stainless steel body offers a simple, durable construction, while the reduced-port design provides a smaller internal flow path than a full-port valve.
This valve features a blow-out-proof stem and a pressure balance hole in the ball slot. The supplied product information identifies the valve as a reduced-port design rated to 800 WOG and manufactured in Taiwan.

One-Piece Valve Construction
A one-piece ball valve uses a compact valve body manufactured as a single primary body section. This design minimizes body joints and provides a simple shutoff-valve configuration for compatible piping systems.
The ball rotates through 90 degrees between the open and closed positions, providing quick quarter-turn isolation.
The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for compatible media and operating environments.
Reduced-Port Design
Reduced Port
- Internal flow opening is smaller than the connected piping size
- Provides a compact valve configuration
- Creates more flow restriction than a full-port design
- Suitable where maximum flow area is not required
- Used in this V108 valve design
Full Port
- Larger internal flow opening
- Designed to minimize flow restriction
- Typically produces less pressure drop
- Useful where maximum flow capacity is important
- Different internal configuration from this valve
Valve Components & Features

800 WOG Rating
The supplied product information identifies this valve as rated to 800 WOG. WOG is commonly used for valve pressure ratings associated with compatible water, oil, and gas service.
Actual suitability depends on valve size, operating temperature, media, system pressure, and manufacturer limitations. Review the V108 cut sheet before specifying the valve for a particular application.
1-Piece vs. 2-Piece Ball Valve
1-Piece Ball Valve
- Single primary valve body section
- Compact overall design
- Fewer body joints
- Reduced-port configuration on this valve
- Useful for general shutoff applications
2-Piece Ball Valve
- Body assembled from two primary sections
- Often available in full-port configurations
- Typically provides a larger internal flow path
- Common in general industrial service
- Different body construction from this valve
Common Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Piping

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Verify connection compatibility with the mating piping.
- Confirm that the reduced-port configuration provides adequate flow for the intended application.
- Verify that the 800 WOG rating is suitable for the intended system pressure.
- Confirm media compatibility with the stainless steel valve construction and internal components.
- Use an appropriate sealant or connection procedure for the specific valve end configuration.
- Use appropriate valve wrenching surfaces during installation where applicable.
- 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 specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pressure rating of this valve?
The supplied product information identifies this valve as rated to 800 WOG.
What does reduced port mean?
A reduced-port ball valve has an internal flow opening that is smaller than the connected piping size, which creates more flow restriction than a full-port valve.
Is this a one-piece valve?
Yes. The product is identified as a one-piece stainless steel ball valve.
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 in the supplied product information. Refer to the V108 cut sheet for additional construction details.
How is this valve different from a full-port valve?
This valve uses a reduced-port configuration with a smaller internal flow passage. A full-port valve has a larger opening and generally creates less flow restriction.
Is this valve stainless steel?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies this as a stainless steel ball valve.
Where is this valve manufactured?
The supplied product information identifies the country of origin as Taiwan.
