Ball Valves
Ball Valves are quarter-turn shut-off valves designed to control the flow of liquids, gases, and other compatible fluids in piping systems. They use a spherical ball with a bore through its center; rotating the ball approximately 90° opens or closes the flow passage. Ball Valves are widely used where reliable isolation, quick operation, and a tight shut-off are required.
