A PVC Ball Valve is a type of shut-off valve made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that uses a rotating ball with a bore (hole) through the center to control the flow of liquids or gases. These valves are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems due to their durability, chemical resistance, and affordability.
Key Features:
- Material: High-quality PVC body, resistant to corrosion and many chemicals.
- Operation: Manual handle for quarter-turn (90°) operation.
- Ball Mechanism: Smooth, precision-molded ball for minimal friction and tight seal.
- Seal: Often uses EPDM or PTFE seals for leak-free performance.
- Connection Types: Available with threaded (NPT), socket (glue), or flanged ends.
- Sizes: Commonly available in sizes from 1/2" to 4" (and larger for industrial use).
