Ball Valve 2

A ball valve is a type of valve that is used to control the flow of liquids and gases. It is made up of a round, hollow ball with a hole in the middle that is connected to a stem. The stem is connected to a handle, which is used to open and close the valve. When the handle is turned, the ball rotates and the hole in the middle of the ball is either opened or closed, allowing or preventing the flow of liquid or gas. Ball valves are commonly used in industrial applications, such as water and gas pipelines, and are also used in plumbing systems. They are known for their durability and reliability, as well as their ability to provide a tight seal. Ball valves are also used in many medical applications, such as controlling the flow of intravenous fluids. They are an essential part of any plumbing system, as they are able to provide a reliable and efficient way to control the flow of liquids and gases.
