Product Overview
Focused on hygiene, durability, and efficient flow control, this valve leverages premium materials and innovative design to deliver reliable performance in water-related applications. Its corrosion-resistant properties and leak-proof structure make it a trusted choice for clean water, wastewater, and irrigation systems.
Characteristic Description
Hygienic & Durable Materials
Body: UPVC – Non-toxic, lead-free, and resistant to water-borne contaminants, ensuring water quality safety.
Seat Seal: TPE – Food-grade material with excellent sealing performance, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring smooth water flow.
Ball: PP – Smooth surface that resists scaling and sediment buildup, reducing the risk of clogs in water pipelines.
Handle: ABS – Lightweight and corrosion-proof, with a non-slip grip for easy operation even in wet environments.
O-ring Seal: NBR – Waterproof and wear-resistant, maintaining a tight seal to prevent water leakage.
Structural & Size Flexibility
Available in sizes from 1/2" to 8", the valve offers two shape options (octagonal and compact) to fit different installation spaces. Threaded and socket connections cater to both temporary and permanent plumbing setups, making it versatile for residential, commercial, and industrial water systems.
Market Research
The global water treatment valve market is driven by increasing demand for clean water supply and wastewater management. Municipalities and water treatment facilities seek valves that are cost-effective, easy to maintain, and resistant to water corrosion – all key strengths of PVC Ball Valve. Unlike metal valves that can rust and contaminate water, PVC valves are non-corrosive and hygienic, aligning with modern water safety standards. The product also meets the growing need for low-maintenance solutions in residential plumbing, reducing homeowner and facility management costs.
Key Features
Water-Safe Sealing System
The integrated O-ring design (housed in the valve body instead of the handle) eliminates potential leakage points, ensuring water-tight performance. The mold-assembled sealed components prevent water seepage and reduce the risk of bacterial growth.
Low-Maintenance Design
The detachable handle allows for quick replacement or repair without disrupting the entire water system. Adding an extra O-ring between the handle and body is a simple fix for minor leaks, extending the valve’s service life.
Smooth Flow Control
For sizes 2.5" and above, the bidirectional opening design reduces torque, enabling effortless handle operation. The PP ball's smooth surface minimizes flow resistance, ensuring efficient water distribution in pipelines.
Performance Meets
PVC Ball Vave adheres to international standards such as ASTM, DIN, JIS, and BS, ensuring compatibility with global plumbing and water treatment systems. Each valve undergoes strict leakage testing: high-pressure air (equivalent to 16pn water pressure) is injected and held for 24 hours to confirm leak-proof performance. The non-toxic materials meet food-grade standards, making it safe for potable water applications.
Customized Service
Size Tailoring: Custom sizes to fit specialized water treatment equipment or plumbing layouts.
Connection Modifications: Adjustments to threaded/socket connections for compatibility with existing pipelines.
Material Upgrades: Food-grade EPDM O-rings or UV-resistant UPVC for outdoor irrigation systems.
Packaging Solutions: Bulk packaging for large-scale water treatment projects or retail-friendly packaging for plumbing suppliers.
FAQ
Is this ball valve suitable for drinking water systems?
Yes. All materials are non-toxic and lead-free, meeting food-grade standards for potable water applications.
Can it be used in outdoor irrigation systems?
Absolutely. The UPVC body and NBR O-ring are resistant to UV rays and weathering, making it durable for outdoor use.
What is the expected service life of the valve?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, the valve can last 10-15 years in water-related applications.
How to resolve leakage from the handle?
Simply detach the handle and add an extra O-ring (provided as a spare) between the handle and body. If the issue persists, replace the handle or O-ring with compatible spare parts.
