Product Overview
The KITZ SCT 165K-1/8-316L-EP is a precision-engineered needle valve designed for accurate flow regulation and reliable isolation in high-purity and general industrial process systems. Manufactured by KITZ SCT, a recognized leader in fluid control technology, this valve features a 1/8 inch connection size and is constructed from 316L stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and durability. The “EP” designation indicates an electropolished finish, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced surface cleanliness, such as semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical processing. As a manual needle valve, it provides fine, linear flow control through a tapered needle that precisely mates with the valve seat, ensuring accurate throttling and dependable shutoff. Its robust design and high-quality materials make it an ideal component for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic control circuits where precision and leak-tight performance are critical.
