20.0040 has a part description of BALL VALVE STAINLESS STEEL 1/2 FXF6,000 PSI MTM Hydro® 20.0040 Stainless Steel Ball Valve – ½″ FxF, 6,000 PSI
Overview
Built for the most demanding high-pressure and corrosive-environment applications, the MTM Hydro 20.0040 ball valve is a robust, stainless steel solution engineered for reliability and performance. With ½-inch female-by-female (FxF) connections and a 6,000 PSI pressure rating, it’s ideal for agricultural, food-production, industrial cleaning and wash-down systems where durability and chemical resistance matter.
Key Features
-
Solid stainless steel construction: maximizes corrosion-resistance and longevity in harsh or chemical-laden environments.
-
½″ female×female (FxF) port configuration for straightforward in-line installation between hose/run lines.
-
Rated at 6,000 PSI working pressure — designed for high-pressure wash systems and demanding duty cycles.
-
Full-port ball design gives minimal flow restriction when open, helping maintain system efficiency and pressure.
-
Commonly used as a shut-off valve at:
-
ceiling-mounted system supply runs
-
base of spray gun assemblies
-
wall-mounted manifold systems
-
Ideal for use with corrosive cleaning agents, sanitizing solutions and in food-processing environments where stainless tubing and fittings are required.
Why Choose It?
High-pressure washing and sanitation systems place heavy demands on valves: leaks, corrosion and premature failure can all drive maintenance costs, downtime and inefficiencies. This MTM Hydro ball valve is designed specifically to handle these stresses:
-
Unlike brass or plated valves, the stainless steel body resists degradation from frequent chemical exposure.
-
With a full-port ball, you’ll get the flow you expect without sacrificing shut-off performance.
-
The 6,000-PSI rating gives peace of mind for many commercial and industrial cleaning setups rather than being marginally specified.
Whether you’re retrofitting an existing high-pressure line or building a new system where reliability is non-negotiable, the 20.0040 valve gives you the build-quality and specification you need.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Details |
|---|
| Model | 20.0040 | | Size | ½″ (female × female) | | Material | Stainless steel | | Working Pressure | 6,000 PSI | | Typical Installation | Between supply/run lines, spray gun base, manifold shut-off | | Applications | Food processing, agriculture, chemical wash systems, high-pressure washers |
Installation & Usage Tips
-
Ensure compatible hose/fittings of correct pressure rating are used (6,000 PSI rated or higher) to maintain system integrity.
-
Use proper thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for high-pressure stainless systems when assembling.
-
Mount valve in an accessible location for servicing or shut-off operations. A “ceiling” or “wall-mounted” quiescent position is common for such valves.
-
Regularly inspect seals and connections for wear or chemical attack—despite stainless steel body, internal components can be stressed by aggressive media.
-
To prolong service life: after use in aggressive chemical wash-down, flush with clean water and dry if possible.
Application Scenarios
-
A commercial car-wash facility needing shut-off valves on each lane’s high-pressure manifold.
-
A food-processing plant where frequent sanitizing with caustic or acid solutions demands stainless hardware.
-
An agricultural sprayer system where resistant, high-pressure valves stand up to frequent chemical exposure.
-
A rental pressure-washer fleet provider who demands rugged components, minimal downtime and long service life.
