Custom Cast & CNC Machined Aluminum Valve Component
This ball valve housing is a precision cast and CNC-machined aluminum component designed for OEM valve assemblies and industrial fluid control systems. Featuring a robust flanged connection structure, the housing provides stable installation, accurate alignment, and reliable sealing performance under pressure conditions.
Manufactured from certified 356-T6 aluminum casting, this ball valve housing combines lightweight construction with excellent mechanical strength. All critical interfaces-including sealing faces, internal bores, flanges, and threaded ports-are CNC machined to ensure dimensional accuracy and consistent assembly quality.
Material & Manufacturing Process
Material: 356-T6 aluminum alloy
Casting standard: QQ-A-601
Compliance: ASTM A445-70
Material certification: Available
The ball valve housing is produced using precision aluminum casting to form the complex external geometry, followed by CNC machining on functional surfaces and connection features. This process ensures high structural integrity, repeatable tolerances, and long-term reliability in demanding operating environments.
Key Dimensions & Structural Features
Overall height: 7.937 in
Maximum body diameter: 5.75 in
Flange thickness: 0.88 in
Threaded ports:
1 × 1/4-18 NPT
4 × 10-32 UNF-2B
The 0.88-inch flange thickness provides sufficient rigidity for bolted connections and helps maintain stable sealing performance during pressure loading and repeated installation cycles. The flanged design allows secure inline mounting within ball valve and fluid control assemblies.
Pressure & Leak Testing Requirement
Test pressure: 400 PSI
Leakage requirement: No leakage
This aluminum ball valve housing is designed to meet strict air-tightness requirements. Pressure and leak testing can be performed according to customer-defined procedures prior to shipment to ensure reliable in-service performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a complete ball valve or a housing only?
A: This product is a ball valve housing only, not a complete ball valve. It does not include the ball, stem, seats, seals, or actuator. It is intended for OEMs and valve manufacturers who assemble finished ball valves or custom valve systems.
Q: What material and standards does this ball valve housing meet?
A: The housing is manufactured from 356-T6 aluminum casting per QQ-A-601 and complies with ASTM A445-70. Full material certification is available upon request.
Q: Can this ball valve housing pass pressure and leak testing?
A: Yes. The design supports 400 PSI air pressure testing with zero leakage. Pressure and leak tests can be performed according to customer-specified standards prior to delivery.
Q: Can dimensions, flange thickness, or threaded ports be customized?
A: Absolutely. We support customization of overall dimensions, flange thickness (including the standard 0.88 in), thread types (NPT, UNF, metric), and other functional features based on your drawings or specifications.
Q: Do you support prototype and OEM production orders?
A: Yes. We support prototype development, low-to-medium volume production, and repeat OEM orders for custom ball valve housings. Engineering assistance and DFM support are available throughout the project.
