- Inline and right-angle ball valves
- Standard and under pressure tapping ferrules
- Ferrule bends
Product Details
Material
The Milnes® product range is made from Gunmetal or Brass. Gunmetal is shiny alkaline brass, which is composed of copper and tin. Gunmetal is resistant to corrosion from steam and salt water, and is thus suitable for valves, pump parts and steam fittings.
