Frequently Asked Questions

A 2-piece screwed ball valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of liquids or gases. It consists of two pieces: the valve body and a removable end cap, which are screwed together.

The valve works by rotating a ball with a bore through it inside the valve body. When the ball is rotated 90 degrees, the bore aligns with the flow path, allowing flow. Rotating the ball another 90 degrees blocks the flow.

These valves are commonly used in industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, chemical processing, and food and beverage due to their reliability and ease of operation.

They can be made from various materials including stainless steel, brass, and PVC, depending on the application and the type of fluid being handled.

Advantages include easy maintenance, reliable sealing, minimal pressure drop, and durability. The design allows for the valve to be disassembled for cleaning or repairs.

These valves are installed by screwing the threaded ends into matching female threads on the pipe ends. Pipe thread sealant or Teflon tape is often used to ensure a tight seal.

They are primarily designed for on/off control. While they can provide some throttling, they are not recommended for precise flow control as it may cause wear and damage to the ball and seats.

They come in a range of sizes, typically from 1/4 inch to 4 inches, but larger sizes can be available depending on the manufacturer.

Pressure ratings vary by material and design but typically range from 1000 PSI to 2000 PSI for metal valves. Plastic valves generally have lower pressure ratings.

Metal 2-piece ball valves, such as those made from stainless steel, can handle high temperatures, sometimes up to 400°F (204°C) or higher, depending on the design and materials of the seals.

Regular maintenance includes periodic inspection for leaks, cleaning debris from the ball and seats, and replacing worn seals. 

Common issues include leaking due to worn seals, difficulty in operation due to buildup of debris or corrosion, and potential thread damage if over-tightened during installation. Regular maintenance can help mitigate these issues.
