Threaded ball valve
Threaded ball valve is a compact ball valve with internal threads, external threads, or combined internal/external threads at the valve body ends for direct pipeline connection. Its core features are compact structure, easy installation, and reliable sealing. Without the need for flanged connections, it is especially suitable for small-diameter (typically DN≤50mm), medium-to-low pressure piping systems as an on-off valve for medium flow control. Threaded ball valves generally feature one-piece, two-piece, or three-piece cast or forged bodies, primarily made of brass, stainless steel, or carbon steel. They adopt a floating ball design with sealing rings often made of soft materials such as PTFE for excellent sealing performance. Operation is typically via a manual wrench or a small actuator. Threaded ball valves produced by Kaivex offer advantages including small size, light weight, economical cost, convenient maintenance, and low flow resistance. Their threaded connection method facilitates installation and disassembly in confined spaces. Threaded ball valves are widely used in instrument pipelines, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, small equipment, water supply and drainage branches, HVAC, and other civil and general industrial applications.
