Brass Body Nickel Plated Ball Valves, Female BSP, S/Steel Handles

Overview Function - Ball valves are simple and inexpensive valves that are quickly and easily operated. Good ball valves allow unrestricted flow when fully open. Explanation - Ball valves contain a ball with a hole through the centre. A lever turns the ball 90º to control flow. Typical Use - General purpose use, preferably where flow is either fully on or fully off. Cautions - Avoid long straight upstream pipework which may suffer from water-hammer if a ball valve is shut off too quickly. A closed ball valve holds a small amount of fluid, so do not use with fluids that could solidify, freeze or deteriorate whilst contained inside the valve. Application Agricultural, Horticultural, Landscape, Commercial, Turf and home watering systems. Features Full bore. Threaded female ends BSP. Forged.
