How a Full Port Ball Valve Works
The internal ball rotates 90 degrees between the open and closed positions. When fully open, the full-port bore provides a flow path sized to reduce restriction compared with reduced-port valve designs. Female threaded ends connect to compatible male-threaded piping or equipment.

- Water piping
- Mechanical-room piping
- Equipment isolation
- Maintenance and repair
