Press-fit ball valves provide accessible isolation within compatible plumbing and heating systems. They allow sections of pipework or individual components to be shut off for commissioning, maintenance or replacement without draining a larger part of the installation.
The valve must be suitable for the pipe material, service, temperature and pressure, and its press ends must match the required system and jaw profile. Installers should also consider bore size, handle clearance and future access when positioning the valve.
Pipe ends should be cut and prepared correctly before insertion, and the valve must be supported so that operating the handle does not place unnecessary strain on the connections. Flow direction should be observed where specified.
Browse the ball valves below and combine them with compatible press fittings and pipework to create practical isolation points throughout the system. You may also find the related copper press fittings and press-fit couplings useful when completing the system.
