Aquatherm offers a variety of valves in our catalog. These valves range in offering between the screw-down stop globe valve, concealed valves, inclined globe valves and ball valves.

Aquatherm polypropylene ball valves have been used on projects for many years. They are reliable ball valves, easy to install and easy to use. Ball valves are durable and usually work to achieve perfect shutoff even after years of disuse. They are therefore an excellent choice for shutoff applications (and are often preferred to globe valves and gate valves for this purpose). They do not offer the fine control that may be necessary for throttling applications but are sometimes used for this purpose.

Advantages:

• Can be fast-acting
• Precise Control
• Can be used in high-pressure systems.

Disadvantages:

• High head loss
• Large opening for disk assembly
• low coefficient of flow
• Not suitable for clean or sterile applications
• The valve stem requires many turns to open or close.
