Design: The ball valve features a spherical closure element (the ball) with a bore through it. When the valve is open, the bore aligns with the pipeline, allowing fluid to flow through. When closed, the ball rotates 90 degrees to block flow.
Construction: The valve body is made of cast iron for strength and durability. The ball is typically made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and longevity. The seat is made of PTFE or RPTFE, offering excellent sealing properties.
Flanged End: Equipped with flanged ends, allowing for easy installation and secure connection to the pipeline using bolts and nuts.
Operation: The valve is manually operated, meaning it can be opened or closed by turning the handle attached to the ball. Gear operated or actuator operated options may also be available for applications requiring remote or automated control.
Pressure Rating: Suitable for applications with pressures up to ANSI Class 150, providing reliable performance under various operating conditions.
Application: Ideal for use in water distribution systems, HVAC systems, chemical processing, and other industrial applications where reliable flow control is essential.
