The Male Threaded
Ball Valve is a versatile, durable fluid control fixture designed for plumbing and gas systems, merging secure connection capabilities, precise flow regulation, and robust construction to manage liquids or gaseous fuels in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.
Advantages
This
Valve’s core strengths lie in its threaded design and heavy-duty build: the male threaded ends ensure a secure, leak-proof connection with compatible pipes, eliminating the need for additional adapters in standard systems. Its quarter-turn operation enables rapid flow adjustment (including emergency shutoffs) with minimal effort, while the high-grade metal body (typically brass or stainless steel) offers excellent corrosion resistance—suitable for both water and gas applications. The compact, rigid structure withstands consistent pressure fluctuations, and its intuitive design requires no specialized training to operate. Additionally, it demands only periodic cleaning or inspections to maintain performance, reducing long-term upkeep.
Detailed Features
Structurally, the valve consists of a precision-machined metal body (marked “DN25” for size identification, visible in the image), a polished internal ball core, and a heat-resistant yellow handle (color-coded for gas compatibility). The male threaded ends feature uniform, high-tolerance threading to form a tight seal with female pipe fittings, and reinforced hexagonal joints facilitate easy installation with standard wrenches. The quarter-turn handle provides clear visual confirmation of open/closed status (aligned with flow direction when open, perpendicular when closed) and is attached to a metal actuator (secured by a locking nut) to prevent slippage. Tight manufacturing tolerances ensure the ball core forms a hermetic seal, eliminating potential leak points. The matte metal finish resists scuffs and environmental wear while preserving structural integrity.
Application Scope
This valve is widely used in residential plumbing (e.g., sink, water heater lines), commercial kitchen systems (e.g., water or gas supply to appliances), light industrial fluid lines (e.g., low-pressure liquid or gas systems), and outdoor setups (e.g., propane tank connections): in homes, it controls flow to household fixtures; in restaurants, it regulates water or gas for cooking equipment; in small facilities, it manages low-pressure fluid distribution; in outdoor spaces, it fits propane lines for grills or heaters. It is particularly suitable for environments where secure connections and easy operation are priorities (e.g., rental properties, small businesses). Whether used in new installations or as a replacement for worn valves, this fixture delivers consistent performance. It provides a practical, adaptable fluid control solution, balances durability and usability, and meets the needs of homeowners, plumbers, and facility operators seeking a reliable threaded ball valve.
