Smith S0423110160 Stainless Steel Butt Weld Valve

Smith S0423110160 Stainless Steel Butt Weld Valve is a 1/2-inch, manually operated inline valve from Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. It features a fabricated Type 304 stainless steel body and butt-weld inlet and outlet connections for permanently welded piping installations. The compact design supports corrosion-resistant service in plumbing and light industrial applications, where welded joints minimize leak paths and simplify cleaning in cleanable process lines. The butt-weld ends enable direct welding to compatible pipe, eliminating threaded or flanged joints in tight spaces. This model is part of Smith’s stainless welded-end valve family, offering predictable, low-maintenance shutoff in systems requiring durable stainless steel construction. With its all-weld configuration and manual actuation, it provides straightforward control without the need for power sources or external actuation equipment. Installation requires proper welding procedures and compatibility with the chosen pipe material and schedule, and it is designed to endure routine valve operation in environments where corrosion resistance is essential.
