Stainless steel ball valve with reduced bore, one-piece, threaded
If the ball has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the connecting pipe, then it is a ball valve with reduced flow.
These valves are cheaper in our offer, but there is a pressure lost with them, and the flow rate increases.

How to Use a Ball Valve
A ball valve (also called a ball cock or shut-off valve) is a mechanical device used to quickly open or close the flow of liquids or gases. Inside the valve is a hollow ball with a hole through it, which rotates using a handle—when the hole aligns with the pipe, the valve is open; when it’s perpendicular, the valve is closed.
How to Use a Ball Valve
-
Identify the handle position:
Handle parallel to the pipe = valve is open
Handle perpendicular to the pipe = valve is closed
-
To open the valve:
Grab the handle and turn it 90° so that it is parallel to the pipe.
-
To close the valve:
Turn the handle back 90° so it is perpendicular to the pipe.
-
Usage:
Ball valves are commonly used in plumbing, heating systems, gas lines, and industrial setups.
They are ideal for quick shut-off/opening, not suitable for fine flow regulation.
Tips
Do not force the handle if it’s stuck – it might be clogged or damaged.
If the valve is unused for a long time, turn it occasionally to prevent it from seizing.
For outdoor use, choose frost-resistant versions.
