The Bradford Ball Valve is designed as a three piece construction with swing out center section for easy field repair and cleaning in place. Operating parts are stainless steel type CF8M (316) conforming to ASTM A351, solution annealed and passivated for corrosion resistance. All major parts are traceable for chemistry (ask for MTRs). Integral ISO 5211 mounting pad is part of the valve design making actuation easy without any custom brackets. The handle makes this suitable for lock-out/tag-out applications.

Bradford Fittings maintain the 3A standard. The 3A Sanitary Standard was created by the dairy industry as a voluntary benchmark for product performance and sanitary safety. The standard, collaboratively developed by a group of processors, suppliers, regulatory officials and sanitation specialists, is generally accepted by federal, state and local regulatory authorities.
Bradford Ball Valves have earned the 3A symbol, which requires an annual assessment to make certain each product conforms in all respects to the published standard. Bradford Ball Valves carrying the 3A symbol conform to the 3A sanitary standards for fittings for milk and milk products (#68-00). Dixon Sanitary is proud to be a participant in the 3A program.
