These multipurpose tough valves control liquid or gas flow through a spherical ball with a hole through its center. Alignment of the hole with the pipe allows flow; turning it blocks the flow entirely. Ball valves are very simple to operate, provide shut-off within seconds, completely leak-proof sealing, and require minimum maintenance. Hence, ball valves find usage in the plumbing field, industry, agriculture, and HVAC applications. The valves may be constructed from brass, stainless steel, or PVC and hence are corrosion and pressure-resistant. The ease of use and dependable performance of the ball valve have enabled its usage in domestic as well as commercial applications.
