Part No. WE05
The Dwyer WE05 is a 3-piece socket weld stainless steel ball valve designed for permanently welded process piping. Socket weld connections provide a permanent welded joint and are commonly specified for higher-pressure or higher-integrity process systems where threaded or flanged connections are not preferred.
Its 3-piece body allows the center section to be removed for servicing the seat, ball, or seals without cutting the valve out of the pipeline. This makes maintenance more practical on welded installations, where removing a conventional welded valve could otherwise require cutting and re-welding the pipework.
The full-bore design helps keep pressure drop low when the valve is open, while stainless steel construction provides broad compatibility with suitable process media.
Need a different specification? The Dwyer range also includes the WE04 2-Piece Flanged Stainless Steel Ball Valve, allowing you to select the connection style that matches your piping system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a socket weld valve over a threaded or flanged valve?
Socket weld connections provide a permanent welded joint and are commonly used where welded connections are specified for higher-pressure or higher-integrity piping systems.
Can the WE05 be serviced without cutting it out of the line?
Yes. Its 3-piece body allows the centre section to be removed for internal service while the welded end connections remain in place.
What material is the WE05 made from?
The WE05 features stainless steel construction.
Is the WE05 full-bore?
Yes. The WE05 uses a full-bore design that helps maintain low pressure drop when the valve is open.
What applications suit the WE05?
It is suited to process piping systems where socket weld connections and a high-integrity welded valve installation are specified.
Does GeneralTech Shop deliver the WE05 across the UAE?
Yes. Call +971 6 5436933 to confirm availability and delivery timelines to your emirate.
Should I choose the WE05 or WE04?
The WE05 uses socket weld connections for permanently welded piping, while the WE04 uses flanged connections. Select the model that matches your piping standard and installation requirements.
