Ball Valve 2 Inch

A ball valve is a type of valve that uses a ball-shaped disk to control the flow of a liquid or gas. The ball has a hole in it, which is connected to a stem that can be turned to open or close the valve. The size of the ball valve is determined by the diameter of the hole, and a 2-inch ball valve is a valve with a 2-inch diameter hole. Ball valves are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications, as they are easy to operate and can be used to control the flow of water, air, steam, oil, and other fluids. They are also used in many applications where a tight shut-off is required, such as in gas and oil pipelines. Ball valves are available in a variety of materials, including brass, stainless steel, and plastic, and they can be manual, electric, or pneumatic. Ball valves are known for their reliability and long service life, making them a popular choice for many applications.
