Introduction to ball valve
The ball valve made of solid components has high durability and can function perfectly even after being idle for a long time. It has a sphere made of brass, stainless steel or chrome plated brass embedded in the conduit. The top of the ball can only be shaken by a quarter of a circle. When the horizontal plane is parallel to the pipe, the sphere allows water to flow.
When the lever is perpendicular to the pipe, the solid ball will stop the water flow. Control the flow of water by moving the lever from 0 degrees to 90 degrees from the angle of the pipe to which it is connected.On the other hand, you can keep the lever between 2 limits to make the water flow through the pipe, but the pipe may deform due to water pressure.
The advantage of this valve is that you can open or close it easily and quickly. However, the water will always hammer the sides of the sphere and pipe unless it is fully open to guide the water.
