These PVC ball valve fittings are designed for DIYers, plumbers, and facilities managers who need dependable on\/off flow control without the corrosion risk of metal alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach valve combines a solvent weld socket inlet with a female threaded outlet, constructed from rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) with a PTFE-sealed ball mechanism. Available in eight pipe sizes — 20mm (~¾\"), 25mm (~1\"), 32mm (~1¼\"), 40mm (~1½\"), 50mm (~2\"), 63mm (~2½\"), 75mm (~3\"), and 90mm (~3½\") — and offered in Blue or Grey finish. Handle options include a butterfly (lever) handle for quick quarter-turn operation or a single handle for space-constrained installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include residential and commercial cold-water plumbing, garden and drip irrigation shutoff valves, pool and spa pipework, aquaculture and hydroponics systems, and chemical-resistant fluid handling lines where a solvent weld socket female threaded ball valve is the specified fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔗\u003c\/span\u003e Compatible with standard metric PVC pressure pipe systems.
