Ball valves and plug valves are very similar in basic functions and applications. Both are control valves used to provide tight shutoff in different types of piping units. They also work on the same basic principle, that is, using a porous disk to start o

Because of their spherical shape, these valves are called shut-off valves, and an internal baffle separates the two halves of the valve body. The moving part of the shut-off valve is composed of the valve disc, the valve stem and the hand wheel.

In a system with irregular changes in high temperature, the gate valve will leak due to the load in the valve end pipe.

The gate valve is a valve that completely restricts the flow of fluid and provides a full-diameter valve without changing the direction. The valve disc is appropriately called a gate here and is moved into the fluid at right angles by a threaded shaft wor

Cast iron gate valves are used in commercial and industrial applications. Its typical services include: hot and cold water, HVAC, steam, gas and other general utility services.

There are many types of gate valves, such as full bore gate valves, parallel disc gate valves, solid wedge gate valves, flexible wedge gate valves, split wedge gate valves, vertical stem gate valves, and non-vertical stem gate valves.

The ball valve is designed to contain a ball in the valve. The ball valve is a form of quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated and rotating ball (called a "floating ball") to control the flow through it. It is open when the hole of the

For non-vertical stem type valves, if the valve is opened, the stem will not move upward. The stem is screwed into the dish. When the handwheel on the valve stem rotates, the disc moves up or down along the valve stem on the thread, while the valve stem r

Excellent double-sided sealing function, test zero leakage. Excellent double-sided sealing function, test zero leakage. Simple structure, small size, light weight, fast opening and closing, and fixed operation. Suitable for various medium working conditio

You can expect the service life of the shut-off valve to be approximately 10 to 25 years, with an average of 20 years. However, if they are not "exercise" once a year or two years, then when you really need to close the valve for a pipeline emer

Gate valves are used in a variety of industrial applications, including oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, automobiles, and ships.

These shut-off valves must not be used for on/off service because it is impossible to achieve a tight seal. The disc in the valve can be completely removed from the flow path, or the flow path can be completely closed.

Ball valves are more effective in forming tight seals and have higher reliability and life than gate valves, but they are more expensive. They are often used to shut down and control applications. Because the ball valve can be opened and closed instantane

The gate valve is designed for fully open or fully closed service. They are installed in the pipeline as isolation valves and should not be used as control or regulating valves.

Push-in joints do not require solder, glue, unions or tools. Corrosion resistant to extend service life, designed for drinking water distribution and circulating heating applications.
