Stainless Steel Ball Valve

A reliable shut-off valve is essential in any fluid handling system, and the Stainless-Steel Ball Valve delivers dependable flow control in demanding environments

Designed with a robust two-piece stainless-steel body and precision-machined ball mechanism, this valve allows you to start, stop, or isolate liquid and gas flow quickly and securely.

Ideal for industrial, commercial, and agricultural installations, it combines corrosion resistance, smooth operation, and long service life in one compact valve.

What it does

The ball valve is a quarter-turn ball valve that controls the flow of liquids or gases through a pipe or hose system.

By rotating the handle 90 degrees, the internal stainless-steel ball opens or closes the passage, allowing you to:

• Stop flow instantly
• Isolate equipment for maintenance
• Regulate system sections safely
• Control transfer between tanks, pumps, or lines

It's simple but essential components for safe and efficient fluid management.
