Featuring a precision-engineered ball mechanism housed in a corrosion-resistant CPVC body, this valve delivers smooth quarter-turn operation with minimal effort. The full-port design ensures unrestricted water flow when open, while the tight sealing mechanism provides complete shut-off when closed, making it ideal for isolating fixtures, appliances, or pipe sections during maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe valve's CPVC construction ensures compatibility with Ashirvad Flowguard Plus piping systems and eliminates the corrosion issues common with all-metal valves. The ergonomic handle provides clear visual indication of valve position (parallel to pipe = open, perpendicular = closed), while the robust internal components ensure thousands of trouble-free open\/close cycles. Essential for geyser isolation, fixture shut-offs, and emergency water control, this ball valve integrates seamlessly with solvent-welded CPVC installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications (Quick Reference)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBall Valve (Quarter-turn)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass\/Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93°C (200°F) continuous service\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePN 15 (15 kg\/cm² at 25°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSocket (Solvent Weld) - Both ends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeyser Isolation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eShut-off valves on hot water inlet and outlet for maintenance and emergency shut-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixture Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIndividual isolation valves for sinks, basins, toilets, and shower fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppliance Connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eShut-off valves for washing machines, dishwashers, and water purifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZone Isolation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSectional control valves for isolating bathrooms, kitchens, or floors during repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverhead Tank Lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMain shut-off valves for controlling water distribution from storage tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmergency Shut-off:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eQuick-closing valves for leak isolation and system maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCut pipes squarely, deburr, and chamfer at 10-15°; ensure valve is in closed position during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation Check:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eInstall valve with handle accessible and flow direction arrow (if marked) pointing in correct direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eClean pipe ends and valve sockets with CPVC cleaner to remove contaminants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolvent Cementing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApply Ashirvad CPVC solvent cement to pipe ends and valve sockets; insert pipes with quarter turn and hold for 30 seconds each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuring \u0026amp; Testing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAllow 24 hours curing time before operating valve or pressurizing system; test for leaks at valve body and connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1) What is the difference between a ball valve and a gate valve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eball valve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003euses a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003equarter-turn (90°) rotating ball\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor quick on\/off control and provides\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003efull-port flow with minimal pressure drop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewhen open.
