Product Details
Ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses, allowing flow when the hole that pierces the disc is aligned with the inlet and outlet of the valve, and blocking flow when the ball is swiveled 90 degrees to make the hole perpendicular to the valve opening. These valves can be categorized as full port or reduced port based on their inner diameter, with full port valves having a ball hole the same size as the connecting pipeline, resulting in lower friction, while reduced port valves have a hole one pipe size smaller, causing less flow. In addition, ball valves may feature a handle or lever that indicates the ball's position for manual operation and are suitable for applications involving air, gas, liquid, and steam. The kit typically includes the ball valve, necessary gaskets, and mounting hardware. Specifications include compliance with relevant industry standards and certifications, and dimensions may vary depending on the valve size and type. Warranty terms cover manufacturing defects, ensuring reliability and performance over time.
