(Part Number: E1410-25) – PVC Ball Valve – 2-1/2 in. IPS S X S – White – Ball Valves – Ball Valves for Flowerpot Drip Systems – Reliable Water Flow Control – Made in America – NDS

Key Features

• Ball valve allows water to flow through while blocking debris; easy to turn handle rotates ball to close valve and prevent water flow
• Ball valves are available in Molded-In-Place (MIP) and True Union versions
• MIP ball valves are one-way valves installed in pipe systems to prevent backflow and provide a shut-off point to protect the pipe and other system components
• True union ball valves form a shut off point in your pipeline that’s serviceable; unscrew ends of true union ball valve to remove valve from pipeline for maintenance
• MIP ball valves are made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• True union ball valves are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Applications

• Directs water flow one-way through pipe when ball valve opens, turn handle to rotate ball and close off pipeline; prevents costly property damage, pipe corrosion, and system issues
• Use for pool and spa, irrigation, and plumbing installations; works with most PVC or CPVC pipe to transport water and prevent backflow of contaminated water in pressurized systems
• The ball valve connects to pipe and other system components to allow water to flow through while blocking debris; allows a manual shut-off point in system

Materials & Sustainability

• MIP ball valves are made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• True union ball valves are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Teflon ball seat; EPDM O-ring; ABS handle
• Onsite flow management protects pipe systems from backflow which can lead to corrosion of pipes, property damage, and issues with the flow system

Installation & Maintenance

• MIP ball valve connects to pipe ends; solvent weld with primer and glue
• True union ball valve has two ends with both slip and threaded connectors; slip ends slide into pipe ends (solvent weld with primer and glue); twist to unscrew ends to reveal threaded ends
• MIP ball valve performance issues can indicate damage; replace as needed
• True union ball valve performance issues can indicate damage; valve ends can unscrew to remove valve from pipe line for maintenance
