Pvc Apex Type Ball Valve

Key Features and Specifications

Material: Primarily constructed from PVC or UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), which makes it lightweight and highly resistant to corrosion and a wide range of chemicals.
Operation: It features a quarter-turn manual operation using an ergonomic lever handle to control the flow, ensuring quick and easy on/off functionality.
Design: The internal mechanism uses a precision-crafted, hollow, and pivoting ball with a bore (often a full port design) that, when rotated, aligns or blocks the fluid path, minimizing pressure drop and maximizing flow efficiency.
Sealing: Equipped with high-quality seals to provide a leak-proof performance, maintaining system integrity and preventing fluid loss.
Connection Types: Available with various end connections, including socket (plain/pasted) and threaded ends, to suit different piping system requirements.
Pressure and Temperature: Generally designed to handle medium to high pressures, with some UPVC variants rated up to 150 PSI or more, and suitable for cold water applications. The maximum working temperature for standard PVC valves is typically around 60°C (140°F).
Durability: Known for minimal maintenance requirements and a long service life, often estimated between 10 to 25 years, partly due to UV stabilization in some models that allows for outdoor use.
