This type of taps for shutting off the movement of water through pipes displaces other types of fittings. Due to the simplicity of the mechanism and the reliability of the parts, the product can operate in a very wide temperature range. Allows admixtures of various dissolved minerals. Shut-off and control valves do not need maintenance and are equally well suited for both the domestic and industrial sectors, in more detail https://ayvaz.com.ua/ru/zaporno-reguliruyuschaya-armatura-iz-nerzhaveyuschey-stali .
Main advantages
The ball valve can be installed in almost any position, it will not affect its operation. Manufacturers recommend just closing and opening the tap once a year to make sure it works. In addition, the consumer can count on other technical and operational benefits:
- low cost and stable quality;
- minimum dimensions compared to other designs;
- full opening in the shortest possible time;
- the construction does not imply stagnant areas with water;
- work with polluted water is allowed;
- maximum tightness, even under high pressure;
- minimum hydraulic losses during fluid passage;
- 100% water shutoff.
Applicable materials
The optimal combination of metal and plastic (less often ceramics and rubber) in the construction ensures long-term operation of the mechanism. In fact, wear occurs only after several years of active operation. What is very important, the diameter of the circular internal section of the ball is equal to the bore at the pipe inlet. This means that no hydraulic losses occur during the passage of the liquid through the shut-off valves.
It is enough to ensure the corrosion resistance of the ball by using non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, plastic or ceramics, and the mechanism's performance will be ensured for more than 10 years.
