The SXE is a complement to the VXE and VEE ball valve product lines, with many of the same features providing trouble free service for industrial, OEM and water service applications. A true union design allows for simple maintenance, while the EasyFit multifunction handle can be used as a tool for ball seal carrier adjustment, and for tightening union nuts precisely. The internal design is optimized for maximum flow and minimum turbulence, preventing ball sticking and chatter. Just a few psi of back pressure for positive shutoff in both vertical and horizontal installations. The SXE valve is made from PVC and uses EPDM seals in combination with its socket and threaded connections.
