Ball valves are among the most popular and widely used elements of shut-off valves in modern water supply, heating, and gas supply systems. They provide a simple and reliable shut-off of the working fluid or gas flow by rotating the ball element. Due to their design, ball valves are distinguished by their long service life, high tightness, and ease of operation.

Purpose and advantages of ball valves

Ball valves are used in various systems, from residential to industrial. They effectively shut off the flow of the working medium, making them suitable for use in water supply, heating, gas systems, as well as in technological processes.

The main advantages of ball valves are:

• Ease of control — a full opening or closing is achieved by simply turning the handle by 90 degrees.
• High tightness — ball valves guarantee a reliable shut-off of the flow without the risk of leaks.
• Strength and durability — thanks to the use of quality materials, the valves are resistant to corrosion and mechanical loads.
• Versatility — suitable for application in both water supply and heating systems.
• Wide range of operating temperatures — ball valves can operate under high and low-temperature conditions.

How to choose a ball valve?

When selecting a ball valve, it is essential to consider the following key parameters:

• Working pressure and temperature — it is important to choose a valve that corresponds to the characteristics of the system in which it will be installed.
• Material — brass valves are ideal for water supply and heating systems as they are corrosion-resistant.
• Size and type of connection — it is crucial to select a valve of the correct diameter and connection type to ensure maximum tightness.
