Description
Ball valve VKE 16, 2× KF16 is a stainless-steel vacuum isolation component designed for reliable flow control in laboratory vacuum systems. The valve is fitted with two KF DN 16 flanges at the rear, allowing direct integration into standard KF16 vacuum lines and manifolds. Full stainless-steel construction provides corrosion resistance and mechanical durability under typical laboratory vacuum conditions. This compact ball valve from manufacturer VACUUBRAND supports clean, leak-tight shut-off essential for maintaining system integrity during evacuation and process isolation. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 1,100 kg, the VKE 16 model is suited to applications that require quick manual actuation and secure isolation in medium-vacuum ranges. The KF flange connections enable tool-free assembly with standard clamps and centering rings, simplifying setup in research and analytical instrumentation. Robust design ensures consistent performance across repeated open-close cycles in demanding laboratory environments.

Questions about Ball valve VKE 16, 2× KF16, stainless
What is this article?
Ball valve VKE 16, 2× KF16, stainless is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Vacuubrand for laboratory use. It sits in Stopcocks & valves, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A stopcock opens and closes a line, or directs it between ports. Glass stopcocks have a ground plug that needs grease or a PTFE key. The bore decides the flow. A two-way and a three-way key are different parts.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
