Original Press Release:


Milwaukee Valve Simplifies Valve Installation with Extended Ends for "Clean" Applications


MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - Milwaukee Valve Company has introduced a 3-piece, bronze-body, full-port ball valve with 6" copper tube extensions brazed to each tailpiece. The BA350TE is ideal for use in medical gas systems, pharmaceuticals and other applications where brazing or soldering is the preferred method of installation. Installing contractors can realize considerable labor savings, since there is no need to disassemble this valve, as required when installing other 3-piece valves.

The BA350TE is available in sizes ranging from 1/2" - 2". To increase installation flexibility, the BA350TE can be ordered with straight male tube-end, female expanded ends or as a combination of male and female ends. Manufactured and tested in accordance with MSS SP-110, the BA350TE meets federal specification WW-V-35C. The valve's full-port design provides high flow with minimal pressure drop, and the 3-piece construction simplifies maintenance and repair.

Standard features include reinforced PTFE seats and packing, a blowout-proof stem, and a chrome-plated brass ball. Trim options include stainless-steel ball and stem, optional seating materials and oxygen-cleaning in conformance with CGA & NFPA requirements. Several external handle options (stainless-steel, locking-lever, oval, oval-locking, T-handles) and two varieties of stem extensions can be shared with other domestically-produced commercial valves from Milwaukee Valve (BA100 2-piece bronze ball valve, or BA400 2-piece bronze full-port valve).
