IFAN 81051 Brass Ball Valves

Closed Position

Brass Ball Valves:When the valve is closed, the ball rotates so that the hole is perpendicular to the ports. This blocks the flow. You use it to stop water from flowing. Such as shutting off water to a sink by closing the brass ball valve.

Sealing Mechanism

Brass ball valves use seals to prevent leaks. These seals ensure tight closure. They are usually made of materials like Teflon. A good seal keeps the valve from dripping when closed.

Pressure Handling

Brass ball valves can handle various pressures. They are suitable for both low and high-pressure systems. For instance, they work well in a residential water supply and industrial gas lines.

Flow Control Capability

Although primarily on/off valve, brass ball valve can partly control flow. By adjusting the handle position, you can regulate the flow rate. But it’s not as precise as some other valve types.

Maintenance and Longevity

Proper maintenance keeps brass ball valve working well. Regular cleaning and checking seals help. Replacing worn parts extends their lifespan. A well-maintained valve lasts for years.
