UNSPSC 40141670: Alloy/stainless steel ball valve

Ball valves (stopping flow) made of Alloy/stainless

UNSPSC 40141670 Alloy/stainless steel ball valve is a Commodity code under which state and local water utilities procure industrial valves for water distribution, treatment, and pressure-control applications. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties buying ball valves, butterfly valves, quick insertion valves, detector check valves, slide gates, resilient gate valves, and related pressure-control equipment as components of annual supply contracts, multiyear framework agreements, and one-time purchases. Issuing bodies include city water departments, county water resource divisions, water districts, and cooperative purchasing consortiums. Work spans routine component replacement for operational systems, capital improvements to filter plants and water treatment facilities, and emergency or planned maintenance across pressurized and non-pressurized pipeline infrastructure.
