Dwyer Instruments SMV2-WM2 | Mini stainless steel ball valve | 1/4" NPT male x female
The Dwyer SMV2-WM2 mini ball valve is a compact 1/4" NPT stainless steel valve designed for instrumentation, sample lines, and tight-clearance installations. Its male x female connection configuration allows direct installation into compatible threaded piping without requiring an additional adapter.
Constructed with a cast 316 stainless steel body and 316 stainless steel internal components, the SMV2-WM2 combines compact dimensions with an 800 psi (51.1 bar) WOG pressure rating. A PTFE ball seat provides reliable sealing and low-torque operation for instrumentation and small process lines.
Part Number: SMV2-WM2
The Dwyer SMV2-WM2 is designed for applications where a standard-size ball valve may not fit due to limited installation space. Its compact body makes it suitable for instrument panels, sample lines, gauge isolation points, and other confined installations.
The valve features a cast 316 stainless steel (CF8M) body, together with a 316 stainless steel ball, insert, and stem. A PTFE ball seat supports reliable sealing and smooth, low-torque operation.
The 1/4" NPT male x female connection allows the SMV2-WM2 to be threaded directly into a compatible line where this configuration is required. Despite its compact construction, the valve is rated to 800 psi (51.1 bar) WOG, making it suitable for instrumentation and small process-line applications within its specified operating limits.
For installations requiring female connections on both ends, the Dwyer range also includes the SMV2-WF2, a 1/4" NPT mini stainless steel ball valve with female x female connections.

Who This Product Is Best For
The Dwyer SMV2-WM2 is suitable for instrumentation and controls technicians, process engineers, maintenance teams, and contractors who require a compact stainless steel ball valve for 1/4" NPT installations.
It is particularly useful for sample lines, gauge isolation, instrument panels, and other tight-clearance locations where a male x female connection is required.
How to Use
- Install the SMV2-WM2 into the compatible 1/4" NPT line at the required isolation or sample point.
- Apply an appropriate thread sealant and tighten carefully, avoiding excessive torque on the compact valve body.
- Confirm that the threaded connection is properly aligned and secure.
- Cycle the valve fully open and closed to verify smooth operation before commissioning.
- Confirm that the valve is suitable for the system pressure, temperature, and process media before operation.
