Why Your Ball Valves Are Costing You Money And What to Do About It

If you’ve ever found yourself constantly tightening valve gland nuts, chasing down leaks, or dealing with the frustration of traditional stem seal designs, you already know how expensive a “small” valve problem can become. In many applications, valves can demand repeated attention just to stay dependable, and that can mean downtime, maintenance, and lost confidence when you need performance most.

The Industry Challenge

The challenge begins with a standard industry practice that relies on repeated tightening to keep stem seals performing as intended. Over time, that approach can require frequent adjustments, create extra maintenance demands, and reduce confidence in long-term sealing performance. Anderson Brass Company saw this challenge and engineered a better solution with our innovative Kantleak™ design.

Introducing Kantleak™

Kantleak™ changes the game with a revolutionary new stem seal design built for real-world performance. It never needs tightening, which means less maintenance and fewer surprises in the field. Its double O-ring system is engineered to handle 20,000 cycles without leakage, giving you the kind of reliability a conventional design can’t match. Add in the forged brass body, and you get the strength and durability needed for demanding applications. It’s an engineered solution for customers who want confidence, not constant adjustments.

What Makes Kantleak™ Different

• Forged brass CDA 377 body for strength and long service life

• Chrome plated brass ball for smooth operation and corrosion resistance

• Blow-out proof stem for added safety and durability

• PTFE ball seals for dependable sealing performance

• Easy-turn handle for simple operation in the field

• Double O-ring protection with Viton primary and Atlas secondary seals

• Made in the USA quality you can trust

Where Kantleak™ Excels

Kantleak™ is a strong fit for gasoline and diesel fuel shut-off lines where superior leak-free performance matters most. It also performs well on hydraulic and pneumatic lines used in capital equipment, where reliable shutoff is essential. In factory plumbing applications, the valve delivers the total shutoff capability operators need to keep systems running cleanly and efficiently. Wherever leaks create risk, waste, or downtime, our innovative Kantleak™ design brings peace of mind.
