Long Life
The Manual UPVC Ball Valve is designed for reliable on/off flow control in water and compatible chemical piping systems. Made from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC), it offers good corrosion resistance and a lightweight construction compared with many metal valves. Its manual lever allows quick quarter-turn operation, making it suitable for water treatment, irrigation, swimming pools and industrial fluid-handling applications.
Product Specifications and Overview
The Manual UPVC Ball Valve is used to start or stop fluid flow in piping systems where corrosion resistance and easy operation are important. Its UPVC body is suitable for many water-based applications and selected chemicals, depending on fluid concentration and operating temperature.
The valve uses an internal ball with a bore through its centre. Turning the manual handle by 90 degrees aligns or blocks the bore, allowing the operator to open or close the flow without electricity or compressed air.
UPVC construction provides a lightweight alternative to metal valves and does not rust like conventional carbon steel. The valve is commonly used in water treatment plants, irrigation systems, swimming pools, aquaculture, and compatible chemical transfer lines.
When selecting a Manual UPVC Ball Valve, consider the pipe size, connection type, pressure rating, temperature, chemical compatibility and required sealing performance. The actual operating limits depend on the valve design and manufacturer specifications.

Frequently Ask Questions
A Manual UPVC Ball Valve is a quarter-turn valve with a UPVC body and a manually operated handle used to start or stop fluid flow.
It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant in many suitable environments and easy to operate. Its suitability still depends on the fluid and operating conditions.
It may be suitable outdoors, but prolonged UV exposure can affect some UPVC materials. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for UV resistance and protection.
A UPVC valve is lightweight and resists corrosion in many compatible applications, while metal valves may be better suited to higher temperatures, pressures or mechanical loads, depending on the design.
UPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, a rigid plastic material commonly used in piping and fluid-handling equipment.
Both are rigid thermoplastic materials, but CPVC generally supports higher operating temperatures than standard UPVC. Selection depends on temperature, pressure and chemical compatibility.
Possible causes include damaged seats or seals, excessive pressure, chemical incompatibility, incorrect installation or damage to threaded and socket connections.
Only if the specific valve and its wetted materials have the required approvals for potable-water service in the intended market.
