Aldrich Z146064 Stainless-Steel Precision Needle Valve

Optimize your laboratory fluid and gas systems with the Aldrich Z146064 high-performance, instrument-grade manual needle valve. This straight-pattern (in-line) flow control valve is engineered specifically for the precise, granular regulation of specialty gases, lecture bottles, and sensitive fluid systems. Constructed from rugged, corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, it provides exceptional chemical compatibility, long-term durability, and reliable leak-tight sealing in demanding laboratory environments.

Features:

Precision Flow Control: Equipped with a fine-pitch tapered stem and an orifice size of 0.17 inches, allowing for micro-metered adjustments and exceptional linearity rather than simple on/off shutoff.

Straight Inline Flow Pattern: Designed for straight-through inline configurations where fluid flow remains parallel to the pipeline axis.

Superior Chemical Resistance: Fabricated from premium 316 Stainless Steel, providing excellent resistance to pitting, stress-corrosion cracking, and aggressive chemicals or specialty laboratory gases.

Ergonomic Adjustment: Features a multi-fluted, high-grip black polymer adjustment knob designed for comfortable manual operation and micro-adjustments under system pressure.
