Manual Ball Valves: From everyday water supply to industrial applications

手動球閥 are widely used in domestic, agricultural and industrial plumbing controls for their ease of operation and durability. In this article, DELCO Valve will share its multi-scenario applications, material selection and maintenance tips.

Structure features of manual ball valve

  • Ball valves are not subject to installation direction, the flow direction of the medium can be arbitrary.
  • Fluid resistance is small, the full diameter of the ball valve is basically no flow resistance.
  • Ball valve structure is simple, relatively small size, light weight, easy to maintain.
  • Tight and reliable. It has two sealing surfaces, and the current ball valve sealing surface materials widely used in a variety of plastics, good sealing, can realize the complete seal. In the vacuum system has also been widely used.
  • Ball valves are suitable for frequent operation, open and close quickly, lightweight. Convenient operation, open and close quickly, from fully open to fully closed as long as the rotation of 90 °, to facilitate the control of long-distance.
  • Convenient maintenance, ball valve structure is simple, the seal is generally active, disassembly and replacement are relatively convenient.
  • Ball valve sealing performance is good. In the fully open or fully closed, the ball and the sealing surface of the valve seat and the media isolation, the media through, will not cause the valve sealing surface erosion.
  • Wide range of applications, from small diameter to a few millimeters, up to several meters, from high vacuum to high pressure can be applied.
  • As the ball valve in the opening and closing process of wiping, so can be used in the medium with suspended solid particles.
  • Ball valve fluid resistance is small, no vibration, low noise.

Applications: From domestic to industrial

  • Domestic Water Systems: Manual Ball Valves are commonly used for flow control in kitchen faucets or residential water lines.
  • Industrial Plumbing: In low pressure or non-automated environments, the Manual Ball Valve provides a cost-effective solution.
  • Agricultural Irrigation: In farm irrigation systems, Manual Ball Valves facilitate quick adjustment of water flow.
  • Marine systems: Corrosion-resistant materials for use in seawater environments.

How to choose the right manual ball valve

  • Material: Select the appropriate valve body material according to the media characteristics.
  • Pressure Rating: Ensure that the valve can withstand the working pressure in the pipeline.
  • Convenience of operation: The handle design should be ergonomic and easy to operate.  

Installation and maintenance recommendations

  • Installation Inspection: Ensure that the valve body and piping are well sealed to avoid water or air leakage.
  • Regular lubrication: Keep the ball and seals flexible to prolong service life.
  • Clean the valve body: avoid deposits affecting the normal operation of the valve.
