Product Details
Ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is permitted when the hole that pierces the ball-shaped disc aligns with the inlet and outlet of the valve, while flow is obstructed when the ball is horizontally swiveled 90 degrees, making the hole perpendicular to the valve's opening. Ball valves can be categorized as full port or reduced port, the former having a hole size equal to the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline, allowing for lower friction, while the latter features a hole one pipe size smaller, resulting in reduced flow compared to the pipeline. Many ball valves come equipped with a handle or lever that corresponds with the ball's position (open or closed), enabling manual operation. These valves are suitable for use in air, gas, liquid, and steam applications. The kit typically includes a ball valve, optional handles, and relevant installation instructions. The product is compliant with industry certifications and standards, ensuring reliability and safety. The dimensions and specifications of the ball valve adhere to recognized guidelines for accurate installation and operation. The warranty covers manufacturing defects for a specified period, ensuring customer satisfaction and product longevity.
