Introduction
Its standout feature—dual-direction opening for sizes 2.5" and above—delivers exceptional performance in high-pressure, high-flow environments. Built with durable materials, rigorous quality testing, and compliance with global standards, this valve is designed to handle the demands of large pipelines while offering easy operation and long-term reliability.
Characteristic Description
Material Composition
Valve Body: Heavy-duty UPVC with reinforced walls provides superior pressure resistance and structural integrity, suitable for large-diameter pipelines carrying water, chemicals, or industrial fluids.
High-Performance Components: TPE seat seal offers enhanced wear resistance for high-flow applications; PP ball is precision-machined for smooth fluid passage; ABS handle is ergonomically designed for easy operation; and NBR O-ring ensures a tight seal even under fluctuating pressure.
Dual-Direction Structural Design
For valves 2.5" and larger, PVC Ball Valve features an upgraded mold design that enables bidirectional opening. This innovation allows the valve to control fluid flow from either direction, making it ideal for large-scale projects (e.g., municipal water treatment plants, industrial pipelines) where flow direction may change. The design also requires precise component assembly, ensuring consistent performance in high-pressure systems.
Market Research
The global large-diameter PVC valve market is growing rapidly, driven by infrastructure development and industrial expansion. According to industry forecasts, demand for valves 2.5" and larger will increase by 6.1% annually through 2029, with municipal water treatment, chemical processing, and oil & gas sectors leading the growth. Large-scale projects require valves that can handle high flow rates, withstand extreme pressure, and offer flexible operation. PVC Ball Valve meets these needs with its dual-direction opening, heavy-duty construction, and rigorous testing—positioning it as a leader in the large-diameter valve segment.
Key Features
Dual-Direction Opening for Large Sizes
Valves 2.5" and above can be opened in both directions, providing flexibility for large-scale projects where flow direction may vary (e.g., water treatment plants, industrial process lines).
The upgraded mold design ensures precise component alignment, reducing friction and making the handle turn smoothly—even for 8" valves.
Heavy-Duty Construction for High Pressure
Reinforced UPVC body withstands pressure equivalent to 16pn water pressure (1.6MPa), making it suitable for high-pressure industrial pipelines.
Corrosion-resistant components (TPE, PP, NBR) ensure durability in harsh industrial environments, extending the valve’s service life to 10–15 years.
Versatile Connection & Shape Options
Threaded and socket connections: Threaded for easy retrofits in existing pipelines; socket for permanent, leak-proof bonding in new projects.
Octagonal and compact shapes: Octagonal for stability in industrial settings; compact for space-constrained infrastructure projects.
Rigorous Quality Testing
Each PVC Ball Valve undergoes a 24-hour high-pressure air test before shipping. This ensures zero leakage in large-diameter pipelines, reducing the risk of costly downtime for industrial or municipal projects.
Performance Meets
PVC Ball Valve complies with global industry standards, including ASTM, DIN, JIS, and BS. These certifications validate its performance in large-scale applications, ensuring compatibility with international pipeline systems. Whether used in Asian industrial plants (JIS compliance) or North American municipal projects (ASTM compliance), the valve meets regional pressure, flow, and safety regulations.

FAQ
Can PVC Ball Valve handle high-flow rates in large pipelines?
Yes. The precision-machined PP ball minimizes flow resistance, making the valve suitable for high-flow applications (up to 500 GPM for 8" valves). The dual-direction design also ensures consistent performance regardless of flow direction.
What is the maximum size available for this valve?
The standard size range is 1/2" to 8", but we offer customized diameters beyond 8" for large-scale infrastructure projects. Contact our team to discuss your specific size requirements.
Is the valve compatible with industrial chemicals?
Yes. The UPVC body, TPE seat seal, and PP ball are resistant to most industrial chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and solvents. For highly aggressive fluids, we recommend material upgrades via our customized service.
How long does installation take for a large-diameter valve (e.g., 8")?
With the threaded or socket connection, installation of an 8" PVC Ball Valve takes 1–2 hours with a two-person team. The dual-direction design eliminates the need to adjust flow direction, simplifying the installation process for large projects.
