Construction Details
Gas ball valves utilize the same quarter-turn ball valve operating principle found in standard ball valves, providing fast and dependable shutoff capability. Most designs feature a durable two-piece construction for long service life and ease of operation.
Female NPT threaded end connections allow straightforward installation into compatible threaded gas piping systems while maintaining reliable sealing performance.
Engineered specifically for combustible gas service, these valves are manufactured and tested to meet applicable CSA and UL certification requirements.
Important Notes
Not all ball valves are approved for combustible gas service. Only valves carrying the proper CSA and UL approvals should be used in gas applications.
Approved gas valves will contain markings identifying their intended service and certification status.
Verify local code requirements, gas type compatibility, pressure ratings, and installation procedures before use.
