Ball Valve - Precise and Tight

A ball valve is a variant of shut-off valves and contains a bored ball as the closing element. This ball sits extremely precisely and tightly, making this type ideal for environments with high pressure. Especially for gases, oils, and other media, ball valves are reliable and safe due to their low maintenance requirements. These shut-off valves are particularly used in pipelines to completely shut off flows with just a 90° movement. Particularly in industrial pipeline channels with diameters over 150 millimeters, brass shut-off valves are often used. Ball valves are also known as 'ball cocks'.

How Does a Ball Valve Work?

Inside a housing, there is a ball with a bore. This ball is connected to an operating lever via a rotatable axis, allowing the ball to be rotated as needed. This closes or opens the passage for the liquid medium through a 90° rotation of the ball. It's important to note that the valve should not be closed too quickly, as this can lead to pressure surges in the connected pipelines depending on the liquid or flow medium. This can accelerate the premature wear of the ball. Additionally, it is crucial that the valve is operated regularly to function properly and without much effort. Infrequent operation can lead to deposits or adhesion effects, making it difficult to turn the ball, potentially breaking the lever in the worst case.

Shut-Off Valves with Ball in the BONI-SHOP

In the BONI-SHOP, you will find shut-off valves with different diameters and handle types, according to your needs. Regardless of whether you choose a ball valve with lever handle, wing handle, or 3-way handle, the housing and threads are always made of nickel-plated brass, while the ball itself is made of hard chrome-plated brass. The ball seals are durable and reliable PTFE seals. The BONI-SHOP shut-off valves operate reliably at temperatures between -20°C and +120°C.

If the bore of the ball has the same internal diameter as the connected pipes, it is called a full bore. With a reduced bore, the hole is smaller than the diameter of the pipe.
