Bronze Flange Ball Valve
Bronze flange ball valves are quarter-turn shut-off valves designed for reliable isolation in piping systems. With durable bronze construction and flanged connections, they provide secure sealing, long service life, and easy visual operation for low to medium pressure applications.
Overview
A bronze flange ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control fluid flow. When the ball bore is aligned with the pipeline, the valve is open; when rotated 90 degrees, the valve is closed.
