Ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is allowed when the hole that pierces the ball-shaped disc is in line with the inlet and outlet of the valve. Flow is blocked when the ball is horizontally swiveled 90 degrees so that the hole of the ball is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Ball valves can be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard port) depending on the inner diameter of the valve.
The 50mm Nickel Plated Brass Ball Valve is not only a highly efficient water supply valve for your garden irrigation setup, but it is also a good looking and aesthetically pleasing addition to your garden setting.
