Brass or Stainless Steel Ball Valves?

[jphil3310]

Hi,

Just curious - what advantages would people give to using stainless steel ball valves over brass ones?

Thanks

In what service?

Good Luck,

Generally SS valves will have higher pressure and temperature limits.
The other major consideration is chemical resistance.
In many services the wrong choice is fatal, wile in many it doesn't matter at all.
