Low Pressure Ball Valves provide total shut-off capability for low pressure services. The valve body is a one piece design.

​

Low Pressure Ball Valve Application

Suitable for general air, water and oil applications.

​

Features

• Floating Ball Design;

• One Piece Design;

• Reduced Bore;

• Lockable Handle;

• Anti-blowout Stem Design.

 

Ball Valve Installation

1. Make sure all surfaces are clear and also free of debris on the piping connection.

2. Use Teflon tape or approved sealant.

3. Prepare two smooth-jawed adjustable wrenches when installing the valve. A loosely fitting pipe wrench can distort the valve and causes a leak.

4. Finally, apply one wrench on the hex nearest the joint being tightened to prevent breaking the seal between the end cap and body of the valve.

 

Limitation

Ball Valves are not for use as a throttling valve. Attempting to use it in these applications may result in premature seal failure and/or inability to turn the valve handle.

Ball Valve Operation

To open or close the valve, turn the handle 1/4 turn (90 degrees)

1. In open position – the handle rotation is counterclockwise and the handle is parallel with the valve.

2. In close position – the handle rotation is clockwise and the handle is perpendicular with the valve.

 

General Information

 

Low Pressure Ball Valves are suitable for water, general oil and gas applications and there are three body styles of ball valves: single body, split body and three-piece body. The difference is based on how the casing that contains the ball itself are manufactured and assembled. In addition, ball valves are machined from high quality forgings that provide extended service life and resist failure caused by severe temperature conditions.

Our diverse range of Valves provides you with the ultimate solution to control the flow and pressure within a system or process. They are essential components of a piping system. They regulate, control, or direct the flow of a fluid by opening, closing, or partially obstructing fluid flow. Our exclusive valves include a variety of gate, ball, and check valves as well as flow control valves to fulfill your requirements. Moreover, we can supply valves in a wide range of materials.
