Marketing InformationA ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that starts or stops the flow of fluids using a hollow, ball shaped insert. The valve can be quickly opened or closed with a 90 deg turn of the valve handle. With their relatively simple designs, ball valves are low-maintenance, long-lasting and exhibit minimal leakage if used properly. These valves are commonly used in fluid, gaseous and vapor applications that require bubble tight shut-offs. Although they are mostly used for low pressure applications, ball valves with metal seats are suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature uses.
