Ball Valves

A ball valve is a form of quarter-turn valve which uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball also called as a “floating ball” to control flow through it. It is opened when the hole of ball is in line with the flow and closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle. The handle lies flat in alignment with the flow when opened and is perpendicular to it when closed, making for easy visual confirmation of the valve’s status.
