Are the stainless steel ball valves suitable for compressed air applications?

The SSBV304-XX, SSBV-1000-xx, and SSBV2000-xx are suitable for compressed air based on the WOG (water, oil, gas) ratings. Air falls under the “gas” terminology.

WOG Ratings: WOG is a term that is gradually being replaced by CWP (cold working pressure). It simply means that the valve is intended for use with water, oil or gas, with the exception of combustible gases.
