PVC ball valves are commonly used for water, but are also suited for many inorganic chemicals, acids, alkalis and salt solutions. They're not suited for aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons. In case of threaded connections, apply a sealant suitable for PVC, such as Loctite 5331, to the male threads.
These ball valves are made according to EN 1452-3.
Note: PTFE tape or PTFE sealants are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic connections. Do not use PVC pipes, valves, and fittings with compressed air or gas.
Pros:
- PVC is lightweight, strong, and durable giving it a long service life.
- PVC ball valve is often a cost-effective alternative to a metal housing (brass or stainless steel).
