Choosing Ball Valves

• When choosing ball valves or ball corks, considering certain factors such as pipe size, pressure rating and material of the valve is important.
• The size of the part that receives a pipe or adapter fittings should be equal to the diameter size of the pipe or adapter.
• The pressure rating of the ball valve has to be equal to the pressure rating of the delivery pipes or filter or any fittings next to it. This is a requirement to ensure no leaks or pipe bursts due to high pressure on the connection.
• Material of the ball valve or pipe fittings determine its strength, durability and efficiency in terms of performance. Our ball valves are made of PVC polymers and HDPE plastic materials. These materials are stiff and durable.
