Constructed with industrial grade stainless steel, this valve is very durable and resilient, leak resistant, corrosion resistant, and optimal for higher pressure and temperature projects. It can be used with drinking water or other water projects, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene oil, natural gas, air etc.As with all products, this valve comes with a ONE YEAR WARRANTY. If the valve does become defective within the first year of purchase, will gladly replace it.This highly responsive valve will open and close in less than 1 second when actuated; meaning it will open or close the flow instantaneously when energized or de-energized. Also, our engineers have determined that the life cycle of this valve is well over a million cycles with proper operating conditions and maintenance.This valve was manufactured with a VITON seal. VITON is the most durable and high performance rubber material with the ability to resist high temperatures and corrosive chemicals and other fluids like gasoline, diesel fuel, oils, and lubricants.PLEASE NOTE: This valve is NOT a continuous duty valve and should NOT be in continuous use for more than 8 hours in a single cycle; to do so will shorten the life of the valve and may cause the core of the valve to burn out. If you need a continuous duty valve for your project please search for our Motorized Ball Valves.
