Ball Valves
On-Off Floating Ball Valve
Reliable quarter-turn isolation valve with ISO 5211 top flange, ready for pneumatic or electric actuation in automated plants.
Overview
An ON/OFF floating ball valve is a simple and reliable valve used for controlling the flow of fluids or gases in pipelines.
Key features
- Simple and Cost-Effective: The basic design makes them a cost-effective choice for various applications.
- Quick and Easy Operation: The quarter-turn operation allows for fast and easy flow control.
- Reliable Shut-Off: Tight-seating design minimizes leakage when the valve is in the OFF position.
- Bidirectional Flow: Some models allow flow in either direction, offering flexibility in piping layouts.
- Full or Standard Port: Available in both configurations, impacting flow restriction (full port offering less restriction).

Frequently asked questions
- **Simplicity and cost-effectiveness:** Offer a basic and affordable solution for ON/OFF flow control.
- **Reliable sealing:** Tight-seating design minimizes leakage.
- **Not ideal for throttling applications:** Due to the binary ON/OFF operation, they are not suitable for precise flow control.
- **May not be suitable for high-viscosity fluids:** The floating ball design might not offer optimal performance with viscous fluids.
- **Butterfly valves:** Offer a more cost-effective option for large diameter ON/OFF applications but may have higher leakage rates.
