Stainless steel ball valves

COBRA-NECK-ball-valveUSA: Hantemp Controls has launched a range of ball valves designed to withstand the often corrosive and harsh environments of refrigeration systems.

Featuring all stainless steel construction, the Cobra-Neck ball valves can be used to control pressure, temperature, flow, and liquid level in large refrigeration systems. Motorised control is available for precise control of flow, and an extended valve neck allows for easy insulation in the refrigeration system.

The versatile Cobra-Neck ball valve has been approved for a wide range of safe operating temperatures and pressures to 51bar SWP (750 psig). The valves are compatible with all common refrigerants including ammonia and CO2 and are available for flanged or weld in-line installation.
