Ball valve is easy to use and repair
Ball valves are also easy to use and repair. The uncomplicated design allows for quick and easy access to repair seats and seal.
Available in a range of sizes,
predominantly from a ? inch to 4 inches, users will find abundant
choice. They also come in different body styles including both 2 and 3
way configurations.
Perhaps the biggest down side with the
ball valve is that if you dramatically increase or decrease the flow
rate through the pipe system, a linear flow with ball opening cannot be
achieved unless the ball is replaced with a linear flow ball, reducing
its effectiveness.
Another factor to consider is that ball
valves can become fixed in the one position. So it is important that you
take into account the type of medium travelling through the pipe to
prevent the ball valve from jamming.
