Construction & Service Details
The WIWA 634817 ball valve incorporates a metal-to-metal sealing design intended to provide flow isolation in compatible industrial fluid systems. Unlike valves that rely on soft seating materials, this configuration uses metal sealing surfaces. Actual leakage performance, pressure capability, and fluid compatibility depend on the valve's manufacturer specifications and operating conditions.
During installation or replacement, inspect the valve connections, sealing surfaces, and associated piping or hose assemblies for damage, contamination, or wear. Verify the required connection configuration, operating pressure, temperature limits, and fluid compatibility using WIWA technical documentation. Follow manufacturer installation and maintenance procedures to support reliable valve operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the WIWA 634817 Ball Valve?
The WIWA 634817 is a 3/8" metal-seated ball valve designed to control and isolate fluid flow in compatible industrial equipment. Its ball valve mechanism provides a shut-off function when installed and operated within the manufacturer's specified conditions.
What is the difference between a metal-seated and soft-seated ball valve?
A metal-seated ball valve uses metal sealing surfaces rather than conventional soft seat materials. Metal seating can be appropriate for certain demanding operating conditions, but pressure limits, leakage characteristics, and material compatibility vary by valve design. Confirm that the WIWA 634817 meets the requirements of the intended fluid system.
