How to connect the brass ball valve？ Brass ball valves are generally connected to pipelines to control the flow and pressure of pipelines. Its main usage scenarios include water supply, drainage, air conditioning, heating, cooling water, and other piping systems.
Brass ball valves can be connected in different ways, which should be selected according to different usage scenarios and pipe diameters.IFAN Facebook Website:www.facebook.com，IFAN factory has 30+ years manufacture experience supporting color /size customization support Free Samples.
Common connection methods include the following:
Threaded connection:
It is suitable for the connection of small pipes and usually adopts internal thread, external thread, or a combination of internal and external.
Flange connection:
It is suitable for the connection of large pipelines, and different flange standards can be selected for connection.
Solder connection:
It is suitable for high pressure, high temperature, and flammable and explosive places, and usually adopts butt welding, ring welding, or enamel welding.
Card sleeve connection:
It is suitable for occasions of temporary installation and disassembly and can be easily disassembled and replaced.
Common sizes for brass ball valves include different sizes from 1/4 inch to 10 inches, with the most common sizes including 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/ 2, 3, 4 inches, etc.
In short, the brass ball valve is a commonly used pipeline control device, and its connection mode and size should be selected according to the actual use scenario to ensure its safe and reliable use.
Characteristics and Precautions of Brass Ball Valve
The brass ball valve is a kind of valve, which is widely used in many fields. Its main features are a compact structure, good sealing, convenient operation, and long service life. Let’s introduce the characteristics and precautions of brass ball valves in detail.
Features of brass ball valves
Compact structure and lightweight:
The brass ball valve adopts a sphere structure, which can make the overall valve extremely compact in design, and the sphere is relatively light in weight, which is easy to install and use.
Good sealing performance:
the brass ball valve adopts a movable sphere structure, which can make its sealing performance be well exerted so that the fluid will not leak.
Easy to operate:
The operating lever of the brass ball valve can be rotated as needed, which makes it easy to operate in a narrow operating space.
Easy maintenance:
The ball structure of the brass ball valve can not only make it is sealing performance better but also make it very convenient to maintain the valve or replace parts.
Long service life:
The brass ball valve is made of brass, which has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and other characteristics, and has a long service life.
Precautions for the use of brass ball valves
Inspection before installation:
A comprehensive inspection should be carried out before installation, including the appearance, size, and sealing of the brass ball valve, and the installation should be performed after confirming that it is correct.
Pay attention to the position and direction during installation:
the use direction and installation position of the valve must be consistent with the design requirements, otherwise, it will affect the normal operation of the valve.
Pay attention to the pressure rating and medium properties of the valve:
When purchasing and using a brass ball valve, it is necessary to determine the highest pressure and medium properties it can withstand, otherwise, accidents will occur.
Maintenance must be in accordance with the regulations:
correct maintenance of the brass ball valve is an important factor to ensure its normal operation and must be strictly followed in accordance with the instructions or relevant regulations.
Operate according to the requirements: When operating the brass ball valve, it must be implemented in accordance with the manufacturer’s regulations, and no excessive load is allowed to ensure the normal operation of the valve.
In short, the brass ball valve has the advantages of a compact structure, good sealing performance, convenient operation, simple maintenance, and long service life. It is a valve that is widely used in many industries and fields. During use, attention should be paid to valve inspection, installation position, and direction, pressure level and medium properties, maintenance, and operation in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements. As long as these problems are paid attention to, the brass ball valve can play its role perfectly.
