How a Press Ball Valve Works
The internal ball rotates 90 degrees between open and closed positions. Press connections join the valve to compatible copper press piping using an approved press tool and compatible jaw or ring system, eliminating the need for threaded valve joints or open-flame soldering at the connection.
