Socket Solvent-Weld Connections
Socket connections allow the valve to be joined directly to compatible PVC pipe using the appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement for the piping system. Both ends use female socket connections, providing a compact socket x socket valve configuration without requiring threaded adapters at the valve connections.
Quarter-Turn Ball Valve Design
The ball valve design provides straightforward on/off flow control with approximately a quarter turn of the handle. Rotating the handle opens or closes the internal flow path, making the valve well suited for applications requiring convenient manual isolation and shutoff.
Lightweight PVC Construction
The economy-pattern PVC body is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. PVC also provides excellent resistance to corrosion and is suitable for many water, irrigation, pool, spa, chemical-handling, and general-purpose piping applications when the valve materials are compatible with the service media.
Common Applications
Water & Irrigation Systems
- Water distribution and transfer
- Irrigation systems

- Light industrial fluid handling
- Chemical-resistant piping applications where PVC is suitable
- General-purpose PVC piping systems
- Manual isolation and shutoff service
