Frequently asked questions
Common questions about USA INDUSTRIALS from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in USA INDUSTRIALS cam-and-groove gaskets?
USA INDUSTRIALS cam-and-groove gaskets are available in several materials: nitrile (Buna-N), FKM (Viton), FEP-encapsulated silicone, and food-grade FKM. The FEP-encapsulated silicone gaskets are red and designed for chemical resistance, while the food-grade FKM gaskets are brown and suitable for applications requiring FDA compliance. Each gasket is sized for specific coupling diameters, such as 3/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch, and may include features like flat screens or encapsulated designs.
What is the maximum working pressure for USA INDUSTRIALS Type DC stainless steel cam-and-groove dust caps?
The USA INDUSTRIALS Type DC stainless steel cam-and-groove dust cap (SKU 743P62) has a maximum working pressure of 150 psi at 70°F. This rating applies to the 3/4-inch coupling size model with a 304 stainless steel body and nitrile gasket. The dust cap is designed for use with standard cam-and-groove couplings to protect the coupling end when not in use.
Are USA INDUSTRIALS ball valves available in three-way configurations?
Yes, USA INDUSTRIALS offers manual three-way ball valves, such as the L-port stainless steel model (SKU 61DV33). This valve has a 2-inch size, 304 stainless steel body, and FNPT x FNPT x FNPT connections. It features a locking lever handle for flow control in multiple directions. The L-port design allows for diverting flow between ports.
What stem types are available on USA INDUSTRIALS globe valves?
USA INDUSTRIALS globe valves, such as the stainless steel straight-body general-service model (SKU 61DU77), feature a non-rising stem. This design is common for valves where space is limited, as the stem does not extend outward when the valve is opened. The valve body is 316 stainless steel with a Z-body configuration and FNPT x FNPT connections, suitable for air, fluids, and gas media.
Can USA INDUSTRIALS gate valves be used with corrosive fluids?
USA INDUSTRIALS gate valves, such as the 2-inch non-rising stem model (SKU 61DU75), are constructed with a 304 stainless steel bonnet and a 316 stainless steel wedge. The 316 stainless steel wedge offers improved corrosion resistance compared to 304, making it suitable for handling mildly corrosive fluids. The valve has FNPT x FNPT connections and a wheel handle for manual operation.
What is the thread size for USA INDUSTRIALS Type F polypropylene cam-and-groove fittings?
The USA INDUSTRIALS Type F polypropylene cam-and-groove fitting (SKU 783R44) has a 2-inch coupling size with a 2-inch-11-1/2 MNPT thread. The fitting includes a Buna-N gasket and is designed for hose connections. Polypropylene construction provides chemical resistance for use with a range of fluids.
