Durable brass ball valve with a red lever handle for reliable flow control in irrigation and plumbing systems.
Ball Valve
A ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that controls flow by means of a rotary ball having a bore. When the bore is in line with the flow, the valve is open; when it is pivoted 90 degrees by the valve handle, the bore is perpendicular to the flow, and the valve is closed. These valves are widely used in agricultural irrigation, domestic plumbing, and industrial applications due to their excellent shut-off capabilities and long service life. Our ball valves are constructed from high-quality brass, ensuring resistance to corrosion and high pressure, making them ideal for the demanding conditions in Pakistan's agricultural sector.
Install the ball valve in the desired pipeline ensuring proper thread sealant is used. Turn the red lever 90 degrees to open or close the flow. Ensure the valve is fully open or fully closed for optimal performance and to prevent wear. Regularly check for leaks and tighten connections if necessary. Do not overtighten during installation.
Do not use for throttling applications as this can damage the valve seat. Ensure the valve is rated for the specific pressure and temperature of your system. Always depressurize the system before installation or maintenance. Wear appropriate safety gear during installation.
When selecting a ball valve, consider the material (brass for durability and corrosion resistance), the size (to match your pipe diameter), and the pressure rating of your system. For agricultural use, ensure the valve can withstand outdoor conditions and potential exposure to chemicals. Look for full-port designs for minimal flow restriction. Agricart offers a range of sizes and types to meet your specific needs.
Standard customs procedures apply. Ensure accurate declaration of material and intended use for smooth clearance.
Importation of ball valves typically requires standard documentation. Check local regulations for any specific certifications or quality standards required for plumbing or agricultural components.
For export, ensure compliance with the importing country's standards and regulations for valves. Proper packaging is essential to prevent damage during transit.

- What is a ball valve used for?
- A ball valve is primarily used for on/off control of fluid flow in pipelines. It's common in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial applications.
- What material are your ball valves made from?
- Our ball valves are made from high-quality brass, offering excellent durability and resistance to corrosion.
- How do I install a ball valve?
- Install by screwing it into the pipeline, ensuring proper thread sealant is used. Always depressurize the system first. Turn the lever 90 degrees to open or close.
- Can ball valves be used for throttling?
- No, ball valves are not recommended for throttling applications as this can cause premature wear and damage to the valve seat.
- What sizes of ball valves do you offer?
- We offer a variety of sizes to fit common pipe diameters. Please check the product listings for available dimensions.
