3 Features That Make This Valve a Must-Have for Sanitary Work

1. 316L Stainless Steel – Safe for Food, Beer & Pharma

Eagle’s valve is crafted from 316L stainless steel (the “surgical steel” of food processing), resisting corrosion from acids, sanitizers, and salt. No plastic leaching, no rust—just pure, safe flow for:

Homebrew: Wort, beer, or kombucha transfer lines.

Food Prep: Syrup, sauce, or yogurt dispensing systems.

Lab/Hobby: Small-scale sterile fluid handling (e.g., essential oil extraction).

2. Zero Dead Zones – Clean in Seconds

Traditional check valves trap gunk in crevices, but Eagle’s smooth, electropolished interior (Ra ≤15 µin) eliminates hiding spots for bacteria or residue. Disassemble in 30 seconds, rinse with hot water, and you’re ready for the next batch—no scrubbing, no tools.

3. FDA & 3-A Compliant – Trusted by Professionals

This valve meets FDA CFR 21 and 3-A Sanitary Standards—the same certifications used in commercial dairies and breweries. Whether you’re making beer for friends or selling small-batch jams, Eagle’s valve ensures your process is as clean as the pros’.
