What Is a Flanged Ball Valve?
A flanged ball valve uses a rotating ball mechanism to control fluid flow and features flanged ends for connection to compatible piping or equipment.
The flanged design allows the valve to be securely mounted and can simplify removal when maintenance or inspection is required.

Why Choose a Flanged Ball Valve?
The flanged connection provides a secure and serviceable connection between the valve and the process piping. Unlike welded connections, a flanged valve can be disconnected without cutting the pipe, which can be useful for equipment maintenance and valve replacement.
The ball mechanism also provides straightforward shutoff control, while stainless steel construction offers durability and corrosion resistance for sanitary process environments.
