Panel Mount Ball Valve -8 Male Fittings

The PETERSON FLUID Panel Mount Ball Valve with -8 Male Fittings (part number 09-0930) is a manual shut-off valve engineered for precision fluid system control in high-performance automotive and industrial applications. Built from aluminum with black anodized finish, this panel-mount ball valve provides reliable, manual flow control with SAE -8 male ports on both inlet and outlet.

The -8 AN (aerospace standard) male-to-male configuration ensures compatibility with standard -8 hose fittings found in racing fuel systems, coolant circuits, and hydraulic installations. The ball valve design delivers full flow when open and total shut-off when closed, with no gradual throttling—essential for emergency fuel cutoff, component isolation, or system venting. The black anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion while remaining lightweight, a critical advantage in weight-sensitive racing environments. Compact panel-mount format allows integration directly into bulkheads, firewalls, or custom fabricated panels without external valve bodies consuming underhood or chassis space.

This valve is used by performance builders, racing teams, and custom fabricators who need positive manual control over fuel or fluid circuits. Panel-mount shut-off valves are standard in circle-track racing, off-road competition, hot rodding, and aerospace-derived automotive systems where fail-safe isolation of pressurized lines is non-negotiable. Weighing just 0.24 lbs and measuring 2.95 x 1.2 x 4.5 inches, the compact footprint fits tight engine compartments and custom chassis builds. The manual ball valve mechanism requires no electrical power, making it immune to wiring failures—a reliability advantage in harsh motorsport environments.
