3/8" 600 PSI Gladiator Ball Valve FxF NPT Blue Steel Lever

A Top-Notch Italian Flow Control Valve For Chemical and Potable Water Systems

The 3/8" 600 PSI Gladiator Brass Ball Valve is part of Effebi’s premium range of Gladiator Ball Valves - Italian-designed and engineered products that are tried & tested in harsh chemical environments, potable water systems, and low-to-moderate pressure plumbing applications. This valve is perfect for when you need fine tunng control in a tight space - like with smaller system layouts and precise flow control.

Key features of the Gladiator series are a forged Italian brass housing, an AISI 316 stainless steel internal ball, and high-performance PTFE seals. These high-quality materials give you excellent corrosion resistance, smooth actuation, and reliable sealing in even the most demanding conditions. No wonder this is a go to choice for professionals in industrial plumbing, chemical handling and water treatment fields.

A Harsh Chemicals and High Pressure Specialist in Compact Systems

Gladiator valves were created to deal with the tough stuff that other ball valves can't: chemically aggressive fluids and modern day plumbing additives. Unlike standard brass valves which can start to degrade over time when exposed to caustics, detergents or other chemicals, the Gladiator valve stays stable. This is down to a combination of high-quality materials & Italian engineering.

The 3/8" brass body is sturdy & has excellent durability, while the internal AISI 316 stainless steel ball provides superior resistance to corrosion, pitting and chemical attack. This combo means smooth operation even in chemically tough environments or in potable water applications where cleanliness & corrosion resistance are key.

High-Grade PTFE Seals For Exceptional Heat and Chemical Resistance

Every single Gladiator valve has been fitted with premium-grade PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) seals. These seals have a track record for delivering:

• Excellent resistance to chemical degradation

• Long-term performance even under constant exposure

• High temperature stability up to 150°C

• Low friction for smooth lever actuation

• Reliable sealing after extensive use

In combination with the stainless steel ball, the PTFE sealing system gives you consistently reliable performance from this compact valve right throughout its entire lifespan.

Italian-Engineered Brass Housing For Strength and Long-Term Reliability

The 3/8" Gladiator is built around a forged Italian brass housing which gives you the structural stability and dependability you need for professional plumbing and chemical systems. The benefits include:

• Strong walls that can handle 600 PSI

• Excellent resistance to wear & scale buildup

• Precise threading for secure installation

• Compatibility with potable water standards

• Long-term reliability even in daily use systems

This brass housing gives you the confidence that the valve will keep on performing under pressure, across a wide temperature range, and in environments with both chemical & mechanical stresses.

Durable Blue Steel Lever for Smooth, Confident Control

The Gladiator series comes equipped with a robust blue steel lever. This lever has been designed to deliver smooth, confident control both in industrial and plumbing environments. It provides:

• Strong mechanical leverage for effortless actuation

• Corrosion-resistant coating for a long service life

• Comfortable grip even with gloves or wet hands

• Clear visual reference for open/closed status

With its ergonomic design, the lever ensures smooth, reliable operation every time the valve is used.
