Frequently asked questions
Common questions about JOMAR VALVE from 3G Electric.
What types of Jomar Valve ball valves does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies Jomar Valve manual two-way ball valves in brass and carbon steel. The catalog includes full-port and standard-port designs with press x press, FNPT x FNPT, and push x push connections. Sizes range from 3/8 inch to 2-1/2 inches in the listed models. Handle options include locking lever and locking tee. These valves are used for on/off flow control in water, oil, and gas piping systems. Manufacturer part numbers are provided for each SKU to facilitate cross-referencing and procurement.
Are Jomar Valve brass ball valves suitable for potable water applications?
Many Jomar Valve brass ball valves are certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372, which cover drinking water system components and lead content. However, certification varies by model and size. The product listings on 3G Electric include manufacturer part numbers; buyers should verify the specific certification for the valve they intend to purchase. For potable water systems, look for valves with the NSF mark on the body or in the specification sheet. 3G Electric can provide available documentation upon request.
What is the pressure rating for Jomar Valve full-port brass ball valves?
Pressure ratings depend on the valve size, body material, and seat material. Many Jomar Valve brass ball valves are rated to 600 psi WOG (water, oil, gas) and 150 psi WSP (steam). However, ratings can be lower for larger sizes or specific configurations. The manufacturer's specification sheet for each model provides the exact rating. 3G Electric lists the manufacturer part number for each valve, which can be used to look up the detailed pressure and temperature ratings from Jomar Valve's published literature.
Does 3G Electric carry Jomar Valve emergency shutoff devices?
Yes, 3G Electric supplies Jomar Valve emergency shutoff devices as part of its valve catalog. These devices are designed to automatically stop gas flow in the event of an earthquake or other emergency, and are commonly required by building codes in seismic zones. The specific models and sizes available can be confirmed by contacting 3G Electric with your application requirements. Manufacturer part numbers and specifications are provided for each listed product to assist with selection.
What connection types are available for Jomar Valve ball valves?
Jomar Valve ball valves are available with several connection types, including press, FNPT (female national pipe thread), push, and flanged. The 3G Electric catalog includes models with press x press, FNPT x FNPT, and push x push connections. Press connections are suitable for copper and stainless steel tubing, while FNPT connections are used with threaded pipe. Push connections allow for quick assembly. The connection type is indicated in the product specifications and manufacturer part number for each valve.
Can Jomar Valve ball valves be used in gas applications?
Some Jomar Valve ball valves are rated for gas service, as indicated by the WOG (water, oil, gas) rating. However, not all models are suitable for gas, and local codes may require valves specifically listed for gas. The manufacturer's specification sheet will indicate whether a valve is approved for gas. 3G Electric provides the manufacturer part number for each valve, which can be used to verify the rating. For gas applications, always confirm that the valve meets the applicable code requirements.
