No threaded adapters, no stem adapters, no sealant. Cut the pipe, deburr it, push both sides home and torque to the figure for that tube size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTube kit or NPT valve, which should I buy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the valve is going into a run of Quick-Lock pipe, buy the \u003cstrong\u003etube kit\u003c\/strong\u003e. If it is going onto a thread, a manifold outlet, a piece of equipment or an existing iron line, buy the \u003cstrong\u003eNPT valve\u003c\/strong\u003e. Using an NPT valve in a pipe run means two stem adapters and two more leak paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the 63mm tube kit so much more than the 50mm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e$750 against $463 at list. The step from 50mm to 63mm is the largest in the Quick-Lock range on almost every fitting; there is considerably more brass in the body and the bore is nearly 60 percent larger in area. Both are shown here at Champion's list price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I lock these open as well as closed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lockable models are specified for securing the valve, and a lockout programme normally secures the closed position. If your procedure requires a valve locked open, confirm the specific model with us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes a ball valve restrict flow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full-port ball valve open is close to the bore of the pipe and the loss is small. The bigger flow question in a drop is almost always the tube diameter and whether the main is looped, not the valve. If you are chasing pressure at the tool, start there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these on nitrogen or vacuum?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, across the Quick-Lock range: compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen and inert gases.
