Manual Ball Valves
Manual Ball Valves are among the most widely used and versatile flow control devices in industrial and commercial piping systems. At Concorde Valves & Automations, we supply and distribute a comprehensive range of high-quality Manual Ball Valves designed for reliable shut-off, smooth operation, and long service life. Engineered for precision and durability, these valves are ideal for a wide range of fluids, including water, oil, gas, steam, and chemicals.
What Are Manual Ball Valves?
A Manual Ball Valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a rotating ball with a central bore to control fluid flow. When the handle is turned 90 degrees, the ball either allows the medium to pass through or completely blocks the flow. This simple yet effective mechanism makes ball valves ideal for applications requiring quick shut-off and minimal pressure drop.
Manual Ball Valves are operated using a lever or handwheel, offering easy manual control without the need for actuators or external power sources. This makes them an economical and dependable choice for a variety of on/off and isolation applications.
