This is an 8 port W-style sampling/switching valve with 1/16” fittings and 0.016” (0.4 mm) bore.
It is made of N60 stainless steel, a metal that offers chemical resistance similar to Type 316 stainless, but its resistance to galling and oxidation makes it superior to Type 316 or 303 in the majority of applications. The valve also includes stainless steel nuts and ferrules. The rotor is made from Valcon E, a polyaryletherketone/PTFE composite.
The valve can be used at pressures up to a maximum of 400 psi at temperatures up to 225°C.

NOTE
GC valves usually require a standoff—an extension between the valve and actuator which allows the valve to be mounted in the heated zone while the actuator or handle remains outside at ambient temperature.
