Long-Lasting Stainless Steel Ball Valves

Our stainless steel ball valves resist rust and corrosion, making them perfect for tough environments. They provide dependable service wherever water control is needed.

Ideal Ball Valves for Water Systems

If you need valves specifically for water, our ball valves for water ensure tight shutoff and reliable performance in your plumbing or irrigation setups.

Strong Bronze Ball Valves

Choose bronze ball valves when you need extra strength for high-pressure or industrial systems. Their rugged build makes them a smart choice for demanding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ball valves use a hollow, rotating ball to control flow. A quarter-turn (90°) opens or closes the valve, offering:

  • Superior shutoff reliability.
  • Low resistance when open.
  • Quick operation compared to multi-turn valves.

Ideal for on/off use—but not ideal for precise throttling.

A drain valve is built specifically to attach a hose and fully drain a tank or line (you might see these on water heaters).
A ball valve with a drain port combines shutoff and vent/drain capabilities—handy for winterizing or flushing systems.

  • Brass: Reliable for most residential plumbing.
  • PVC/CPVC: Great for pool, irrigation, or non-potable water.
  • Stainless steel: Corrosion-resistant—ideal for food prep or marine use.
  • Refrigeration ball valves: Specially designed for HVAC/R applications.

We also carry reputable brands like Apollo and Nibco for quality assurance.

Yes, they’re incredibly useful if you need to depressurize or drain a section of piping—like outdoor faucets, HVAC lines, or water heaters—without removing the whole valve.

Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and strength, especially in outdoor, chemical, or sanitary environments. Brass handles general potable water well and is usually more budget-friendly.

We have ball valves ranging from ½″ up to larger sizes. Connection types include:

  • Threaded (NPT/FPT)
  • Union/compression
  • Socket weld
  • Flanged

Just match your pipe type and diameter, and we’ll help you pick the correct fitting.

Ball valves are durable, designed for thousands of full cycles, and perform much better than globe or gate valves in similar conditions. Lower maintenance needed due to fewer internal parts.
