CPVC Ball Valve

Description

The CPVC Ball Valve is a crucial component for managing water flow in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this valve is expertly engineered to provide a simple, reliable, and leak-proof way to shut off the flow in a pipeline. The valve’s handle can be rotated a quarter turn (90 degrees) to either open or close the flow completely, making it ideal for applications where quick on/off control is needed.

Uses:

• Shut-Off Control: The primary use of a CPVC ball valve is to serve as an on/off valve for isolating a section of the plumbing system for maintenance, repair, or new installations. This is essential for controlling water to specific fixtures, appliances, or entire sections of a building.

• Appliance and Fixture Connection: It is commonly installed before a major appliance like a water heater, a washing machine, or a water softener, allowing for easy shut-off without affecting the rest of the plumbing system.

• Preventing Backflow: Ball valves can be used to prevent backflow in certain systems, as the robust design ensures a tight seal when closed.

Advantages:

• Quick and Reliable Operation: The quarter-turn action of a ball valve provides quick and reliable control. There is no guesswork on whether the valve is open or closed, as the handle’s position clearly indicates the valve’s state.

• High Durability and Longevity: As a CPVC fitting, it is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and the chemicals found in water supplies. This robust construction ensures a long service life and high reliability.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, it is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.

• Low Pressure Loss: When fully open, the ball valve’s full-bore design allows water to flow through with minimal pressure loss, ensuring efficient water delivery throughout the system.
