What a threaded PP ball valve is
The threaded PP agricultural ball valve is the plastic shut-off valve often seen on orchards and farms. Inside it a ball with a bore turns a quarter turn with the handle to open or close the flow fully. The polypropylene body does not rust and is lighter than a metal valve of the same size.
The valve is threaded at both ends and connects to threaded parts. To fit it on PE pipe, two compression male adaptors are needed. If you want the valve to close straight onto PE pipe, the double-ended compression PE ball valve is the simpler choice.
Sizes and ordering
Our rows cover this valve in 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3 and 4 inch. The valve size is its thread size. Our catalogue also names the handle type as one of the variables.
In your enquiry give the size, handle type and quantity. If the valve goes on PE pipe, add matching male adaptors to the same list. Seal the threads with PTFE tape and do not overtighten.
Use and care
Keep a ball valve fully open or fully closed; long use half-open wears the ball and seat. Close the valve slowly so no sudden surge hits the pipes and fittings.
In cold regions, drain the valve and above-ground pipes before frost so the plastic body does not crack. Where possible, cover valves exposed to direct sunlight.
