What is a ball valve?
Ball valves are generally used for on/off service rather than throttling or metering applications as they operate full open to full close with ¼ of a turn. They can be fitted with a lever or ‘T’ handle which may be latched or even pad-lockable in some instances. Bodies of brass or CF8M stainless are most common but carbon steel is available. NPT threaded valves are available for 1/8” NPT to 4” NPT in some models. Flanged versions as well as pneumatic or electric actuators for automation are also available.
