Characteristic Description
We improve the mould for sizes bigger than 2 inches. The new - designed UPVC ball valve of 2.5 inches and larger ones can be opened in both directions. That means it requires more precisely - defined assembly spaces for all parts. At the same time, the torque is much lighter and the handle turns smoothly.
Material Composition
The UPVC ball valve body balances strength and lightweight, suitable for industries ranging from agriculture to food processing. The TPE seat seal offers excellent elasticity and temperature adaptability, while the PP ball ensures chemical resistance and smooth flow. The ABS handle provides a non-slip grip, and the NBR O-ring delivers consistent sealing performance across different media.
Structural Design
Offering octagonal and compact shapes, the valve adapts to industrial pipelines, agricultural irrigation, and commercial facilities. Threaded and socket connections support integration with various pipe materials (PVC, CPVC, etc.). The core structural improvement—O-ring sealed inside the body—enhances stability, as all sealing components are mold-assembled, avoiding the loosening issues of handle-mounted O-rings in traditional valves.
Market Research
The global fluid control valve market is diversifying, with demand from agriculture, food processing, and light industry growing rapidly. These sectors require valves that comply with multiple international standards and adapt to different media and environments. For example, agricultural markets in Southeast Asia need corrosion-resistant valves for irrigation, while European food processing industries demand food-grade materials and DIN compliance. This product’s multi-standard compliance, material versatility, and structural reliability make it a cross-industry solution with broad market potential.
Key Features
HJ designed a new type of ball valve.
Compared with the traditional structure, the UPVC ball valve seals the O - ring inside the ball valve body instead of inside the handle. This makes the ball valve more reliable as all the sealed parts are assembled together by mould.
Another advantage is that the UPVC ball valve can have its handle removed easily, which makes repair much more convenient.
1. It is easy to change the handle.
2. It is easy to add an extra O - ring seal between the handle and the body in case the ball valve leaks.
Cross-Industry Versatility: Compatible with water, mild chemicals, and agricultural fertilizers, suitable for irrigation, food processing, and light industrial use.
Global Standard Compliance: Meets ASTM, DIN, JIS, and BS standards, eliminating barriers to international market entry for buyers.
Enhanced Durability: Mold-assembled sealing structure and premium materials resist corrosion, scaling, and wear, extending service life.
Bidirectional Efficiency: For sizes 2.5" and above, bidirectional opening reduces installation constraints, while optimized torque ensures easy operation.
Performance Meets
This UPVC ball valve excels in multi-scenario performance: it withstands 16pn equivalent pressure, adapts to temperatures from 0°C to 60°C, and maintains sealing integrity in wet or dusty environments. The UPVC body and PP ball resist most common chemicals, making it safe for use with non-corrosive and mild corrosive media. Its compliance with global standards ensures seamless integration into existing systems worldwide.
Customized Service
HJ offers tailored solutions for diverse industries:
Media adaptation: Material modifications (e.g., EPDM O-rings) for specific fluids like oils or acidic solutions.
Size precision: Custom sizes within 1/2" - 8" to fit non-standard pipelines.
Connection compatibility: Threaded/socket connections adjusted to regional standards (e.g., JIS for Japan, BS for the UK).
Labeling customization: Compliance labels or safety instructions in multiple languages for global distribution.
Leakage Quality Test
Every piece of UPVC ball valve is checked for pressure and leakage before being packed.
HJ inspects the quality of the ball valve by injecting high - pressure air, which has the same pressure as 16pn water pressure, into the ball valve. Then, the air is kept in the ball valve until the next day.
FAQ
Q1: Can this UPVC ball valve be used for agricultural irrigation?
A1: Yes. It is corrosion-resistant to fertilizers and irrigation water, with a durable structure that withstands outdoor environments. The compact shape is ideal for irrigation pipelines.
Q2: Does it comply with food safety standards?
A2: The TPE seat seal and PP ball are food-grade compliant. For direct food contact applications, we can provide additional food safety certifications upon request.
Q3: What is the difference between octagonal and compact shapes?
A3: The octagonal shape offers a more robust handle grip for frequent operation, while the compact shape saves space—ideal for tight installations. Performance (pressure resistance, sealing) is identical for both.
