Description
Ball valve VKE 16, stainless steel, KF DN 16 is a manual ball valve intended for isolation and flow control in laboratory vacuum lines. Fabricated entirely from stainless steel, it provides high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for clean vacuum applications. The KF DN 16 flange connections allow quick, vacuum-tight assembly with standard laboratory fittings. Net weight is 0,428 kg with a gross weight of 0,700 kg, reflecting a solid yet manageable construction for bench or system mounting. Available in a pack size of 1 pc, the valve is ready for immediate integration into vacuum manifolds or process lines. This product from manufacturer VACUUBRAND is designed for reliable shut-off performance in research and analytical laboratories. Stainless steel construction ensures long service life even under repeated cycling and exposure to typical laboratory atmospheres. The ball valve design permits full-bore flow when open and positive isolation when closed, supporting safe system maintenance and process control. Suitable for chemists and engineers who require durable KF-compatible valves for vacuum technology setups.

Questions about Ball valve VKE 16, KF16, stainless
What is this article?
Ball valve VKE 16, 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.
