Optimized for hygienic gas supply management, this NSF-approved one inch lighter gas valve ensures safety in high-traffic food service environments. Featuring a smooth-radius 316 stainless steel body, this gas safety valve eliminates bacterial harborage points and withstands daily caustic washdowns in industrial kitchens. The ceramic/metallic composite seat provides bubble-tight shutoff for natural gas/LPG lines supplying combi-ovens, fryers, and steam kettles. As an essential appliance gas valve, its ergonomic red lever enables instant visual status checks during health inspections while tool-free disassembly simplifies cleaning. Weighing 55% less than conventional valves, it reduces stress on overhead piping in tight kitchen spaces. Compliant with ANSI Z21.15 standards, this fuel control valve includes strain-relief fittings to prevent line vibration fatigue and a thermal lockout feature that auto-blocks flow at 150°C (302°F). The machined “V-port” ball design delivers precise 20:1 flow control for burner tuning.
