Key Features of a Ball Valve

A ball valve is commonly used to control the flow of water or other liquids in a pipeline. It operates by using a small ball with a hole (called a port) through its center. When the valve handle is turned, the ball rotates to allow flow or block flow depending on its direction. When the handle is parallel to the pipeline, the valve is open. When perpendicular, it is closed. Ball valves are durable, low maintenance, and built with a watertight seal, making them a durable choice for irrigation setups of all kinds.
