Double Union Ball Valve
Key Features and Specifications
- Material: Primarily made from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC or PVC), providing excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and rust.
- Design: Features two union nuts, one on each end of the valve body. This "double union" design facilitates easy installation and dismantling for maintenance or replacement, minimizing system downtime.
- Size: 20mm to 110mm
- Operation: Employs a simple quarter-turn handle for instant on/off flow control. The internal ball has a bore (hole) that, when aligned with the pipe, allows unrestricted (full-bore) flow, minimizing pressure drop.
- Sealing: Equipped with TPE or EPDM O-rings and seals to ensure leak-proof operation and a low operating torque.
- Durability: Often UV-stabilized to prevent degradation from sunlight exposure, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- Plumbing Systems: Used in residential and commercial water supply networks for reliable shut-off control.
- Irrigation: A critical component in agricultural and landscape irrigation, including drip irrigation systems and overhead sprinklers.
- Industrial Use: Suitable for handling a wide range of media, including water, air, acids, alkalis, and various chemicals in industrial fluid networks.
- Pool and Spa Plumbing: Their corrosion resistance makes them ideal for pool and spa plumbing applications.
