3-Piece Ball Valves

A ball valve is a valve that opens by turning a handle attached to a ball inside the valve. The ball has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur. When the valve is closed, the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and flow is blocked. The handle or lever will be inline with the port position letting you "see" the valve's position. The ball valve, along with the butterfly valve and plug valve, are part of the family of quarter turn valves. 3-piece ball valves unlike 1-piece and 2-piece ball valves were originally designed to allow maintenance to be carried out on the valve whilst allowing the valve to remain in the pipeline.
