A ball valve uses a hollow, perforated rotating ball to regulate the flow through the valve. When the ball's passage is aligned with the flow, the valve is open; when rotated 90 degrees, the flow is blocked, providing a tight shutoff. Key benefits Reliable shutoff with good sealing performance The hollow, perforated ball provides a solid seal to minimize leakage and maintain system pressure when closed. Easy to operate A simple turn of the handle quickly opens or closes the valve, enabling fast response and simple actuation. Quick flow control The rotating ball design allows precise control of flow and rapid transition between open and closed states. Simple, robust design Fewer moving parts reduce maintenance needs and support dependable performance across common piping setups. What it is suited for Plumbing and residential/commercial water supply systems Provides reliable on/off control in household or building water lines with straightforward operation. Industrial liquid piping Suitable for general liquid service where dependable shutoff and fast response are important in process lines. HVAC and irrigation applications Useful for controlling water or other compatible fluids in heating, cooling, or landscape irrigation systems. Notes on sizing, material and compatibility The valve is designed to fit standard piping connections, with exact size, material, and connection type determined by the specific model. Refer to the model specifications for precise compatibility and compatibility requirements.
