These PVC ball valve solvent weld fittings are designed for homeowners, plumbers, and irrigation installers who need a dependable, chemical-resistant shut-off solution across a wide range of pipe diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach valve is constructed from rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) with a smooth-bore ball mechanism and solvent weld socket ends for a permanent, leak-free joint. Available in internal diameters from 20mm (approx. ¾\") to 160mm (approx. 6¼\"), with butterfly handle styles on smaller sizes (20–63mm) and single lever handles on larger sizes (75–160mm). Colour options include White, Blue, and Grey to suit different system coding or aesthetic preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include residential and commercial cold-water supply isolation, drip and sprinkler irrigation manifolds, swimming pool and spa pipework, and rainwater harvesting systems. The solvent weld connection method makes these valves well suited to permanent installations where a threaded or push-fit joint would introduce unnecessary failure points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔗\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for solvent weld (cement) jointing to standard metric PVC pressure pipe.
