R D Brass Industries a whole range of Ball valves in a variety of sizes, pressure ratings and materials, in wafer style, or screwed, welded or flanged connections. A ball valve has a quarter turn spindle connected to a ball inside the valve. The ball has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur. When the valve is closed, the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and flow is blocked. The handle position lets you see the valve's position.

Ball Valves are Strong enough & Usually work to achieve the perfect shutoff even after years of No use. Therefore Ball Valves are Perfect Choice for Shutoff Application & are often preferred to globe & Gate valve for this purpose, especially in smaller size.

However, standard ball valves do not offer the fine control that may be necessary in throttling applications, but V ported ball variations are available for control purposes.
