Applications of Brass Ball Valves

JieKeLong's brass ball valves are widely used for on/off control in various fluid systems. Key applications include domestic plumbing (water supply shut-offs, appliance connections), heating systems (radiators, boilers), gas supply lines (natural gas, LPG appliances), and irrigation systems. They play an important role in ensuring convenient, safe, and reliable fluid control in daily life and industrial settings.

Advantages of Brass Ball Valves

Advantages of Brass Ball Valves

By JKL
  • Advantages of Brass Ball Valves 1

    Brass ball valves offer quick quarter-turn operation for immediate on/off control.

  • Advantages of Brass Ball Valves 2

    They provide excellent, bubble-tight sealing when closed.

  • Advantages of Brass Ball Valves 3

    When fully open with a full-port design, flow resistance is minimal.

  • Advantages of Brass Ball Valves 4

    Their simple lever mechanism enables effortless operation.

Installation of Brass Ball Valves

  • 1

    Connect the valve to the pipe thread. The internal thread can be cylindrical or tapered pipe thread, while the external thread must be tapered pipe thread.

  • 2

    Use a wrench only on the hexagonal/octagonal fitting at the connection end. Never wrench the valve body or lever to avoid damaging internal seals and causing leaks.

  • 2

    Control the pipe’s external thread length during connection. Over-tightening may compress the ball seats, deforming them and compromising sealing performance.

Working Principle of Brass Ball Valves

  • When the ball valve is closed, rotating the lever 90 degrees turns the ball so its solid side blocks the flow path. 

  • The ball presses tightly against resilient seats (e.g., PTFE), creating a bubble-tight seal that prevents media flow.
