Product Overview
Built to withstand the rigors of construction sites and long-term building use, this valve combines robust structure, easy installation, and reliable performance. It is an ideal choice for HVAC systems, fire sprinkler lines, and building water supply/drainage networks, offering cost-effectiveness and durability.
Characteristic Description
Heavy-Duty Material Selection
Body: UPVC – High-impact resistance to withstand rough handling during construction, with excellent corrosion resistance to building chemicals.
Seat Seal: TPE – Flexible and durable, maintaining a tight seal even with minor pipeline vibrations common in buildings.
Ball: PP – Rigid enough to handle high water pressure in building pipelines, with a smooth surface for unobstructed flow.
Handle: ABS – Shatter-resistant and ergonomically designed, easy to operate even with gloves (common in construction sites).
O-ring Seal: NBR – Oil and water-resistant, preventing leakage in HVAC and plumbing systems with varying temperatures.
Versatile Sizing & Connection
Sizes range from 1/2" to 8", covering the majority of building plumbing needs. Threaded connection allows for quick on-site assembly, while socket connection provides a permanent, secure fit for long-term building use. Octagonal and compact shapes ensure compatibility with tight spaces in walls, ceilings, and equipment rooms.
Market Research
The global construction valve market is growing with the rise in commercial and residential building projects. Contractors and builders prioritize valves that are easy to install, durable, and compatible with standard building materials – all features of PVC Ball Valve. UPVC valves are preferred over metal alternatives in construction due to their lighter weight (reducing transportation and installation costs) and corrosion resistance (eliminating maintenance issues in hidden pipelines). The product also meets the demand for cost-effective solutions in large-scale projects, where bulk reliability is critical.
Key Features
Construction-Ready Design
The valve’s robust build can withstand rough handling during transportation and installation. The integrated O-ring design (in the body, not the handle) reduces the risk of damage to sealing components on construction sites.
Easy On-Site Maintenance
The detachable handle allows for quick repairs or replacements without cutting into pipelines. Adding an extra O-ring is a simple solution for leakage, minimizing downtime during construction or building operations.
Pressure-Adaptable Performance
For sizes 2.5" and above, the bidirectional opening design reduces torque, making it easy to operate even in high-pressure fire sprinkler or HVAC systems. The smooth handle rotation ensures precise flow control.
Performance Meets
The ball valve complies with international standards including ASTM, DIN, JIS, and BS, ensuring compatibility with global building codes. Each unit is tested with high-pressure air (equivalent to 16pn water pressure) for 24 hours to guarantee leak-proof performance – critical for building safety. The materials are fire-retardant and meet building safety standards, making it suitable for use in commercial and residential structures.
Customized Service
Bulk Order Discounts: Special pricing for large-scale construction projects, with flexible delivery schedules.
Size & Connection Customization: Tailored sizes and connection types to match specific building plumbing designs.
Color Coding: Custom handle colors for easy identification of pipeline functions (e.g., hot water, cold water, fire sprinklers).
Installation Kits: Bundled kits with gaskets, spare O-rings, and installation tools for on-site convenience.
FAQ
Can this ball valve be used in fire sprinkler systems?
Yes. It is tested to withstand high pressure (16pn equivalent) and meets fire safety standards, making it suitable for fire sprinkler lines.
Is it compatible with standard building PVC pipes?
Absolutely. The valve’s threaded and socket connections are designed to fit standard PVC pipes used in construction, ensuring easy integration.
How to handle valve installation in tight spaces?
The compact shape option is ideal for tight spaces. The detachable handle also allows for installation first, then attaching the handle separately.
What is the temperature range for operation?
The valve operates reliably between -10°C and 60°C, covering the temperature range of most building plumbing and HVAC systems.
