Product type
Ball valves are a type of quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control the flow of fluids. When the ball's hole is aligned with the flow, the valve is open, and when it is perpendicular, the valve is closed. These valves are typically made from materials such as brass, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the application and fluid type. They are known for their durability and reliability in various pressure and temperature conditions.
| Material | Brass, stainless steel, or PVC |
| Size range | 1/4 inch to 12 inches |
| Pressure rating | Up to 600 PSI |
| Temperature range | From -20°F to 400°F |
| Connection types | Threaded, flanged, or welded |
When selecting a ball valve, consider the material compatibility with the fluid being handled, as well as the required pressure and temperature ratings. Specify the connection type needed for your system, whether threaded, flanged, or welded. Additionally, it is important to indicate the size and quantity required, and if any specific certifications or standards are necessary for your application.

Ball valves offer low flow resistance, quick operation, and excellent sealing capabilities.
Ball valves are not recommended for throttling as they can cause damage to the valve and affect flow control.
A full port ball valve has a larger diameter that matches the pipe size, allowing for less pressure drop and higher flow rates.
Choose a size based on the pipe diameter and the flow requirements of your system.
Yes, many ball valves are designed to handle high-pressure applications, but always check the pressure rating.
Ball valves generally require minimal maintenance, but periodic inspection for leaks and proper operation is recommended.
