Stainless Steel Thread 2-Pc Ball Valve

There are two main types of threaded ball valves: Female and male ball valve.

The female ball valve threads inside the valve body, typically used for connecting within pipeline systems. It is commonly be used in commercial, and industrial applications, especially in smaller piping systems

The male ball valve is be used in exposed pipeline connections. It is often used in outdoor, underground,or situations where external threading is required.

The female ball valve is more widely used due to its prevalence in both residential and industrial applications. It is easy to install, suitable for smaller diameter pipes, and exhibits stable and reliable performance in general applications.

Thread Ball valves from AFBV can be divided into one-piece ball valve, two-piece ball valve and three-piece ball valve according to different structural methods. Among them, the 2 piece ball valve is the most widely used.

One-piece Ball Valve:

Features: The 1 piece ball valve is composed of a whole ball valve body, with a simple structure and no disassembly function.

Application: Usually used in low-pressure, small-diameter pipeline systems and suitable for some simple fluid control scenarios.
