These white PVC ball valves with female thread socket fittings are designed for hobbyists, landscapers, and facility maintenance teams who need dependable, tool-free shutoff control 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 female-threaded socket ends on both sides. The inner diameter ranges from 20 mm (approx. 3\/4 in) to 160 mm (approx. 6 in), covering standard metric socket sizes as well as BSP\/NPT female thread variants. Wall thickness and body dimensions scale proportionally with socket size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical applications include koi pond and garden water feature plumbing, drip irrigation manifold shutoffs, swimming pool and spa bypass lines, and light-duty industrial water distribution — all scenarios where a white PVC ball valve with female thread socket fitting delivers chemical resistance and long service life without corrosion concerns.\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 Fits standard metric PVC pipe (20–160 mm OD) and BSP\/NPT female-thread pipe ends.
