1/2" PVC Ball Valve, Plastic x Plastic

1/2" PVC Ball Valve – Durable Flow Control for Demanding Applications

Engineered for long-lasting performance in irrigation, industrial, and general plumbing systems, this 1/2" PVC ball valve provides a secure, shut-off solution where corrosion resistance and reliable operation are required. Made from injection-molded PVC with a full-port design, it maintains unrestricted flow while offering easy manual control in both open and closed positions.

Designed to meet the standards of Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 systems, this valve is ideal for contractors managing water distribution, process systems, or chemical handling applications. Its solvent weld socket ends ensure a tight fit, while the thermoplastic handle offers smooth actuation, even after extended use.

Key Performance Features

• Corrosion-Resistant Body: Constructed from PVC for chemical and rust resistance in harsh or wet environments.
• Full-Port Configuration: Maximizes flow efficiency by minimizing pressure drop across the valve.
• High-Pressure Capability: Rated up to 150 PSI at 73°F, suitable for many pressurized water applications.
• Socket Weld Ends: Compatible with standard PVC pipe cement and primer for permanent, leak-resistant installation.
• Compact Footprint: Low-profile body design fits tight plumbing layouts and retrofits easily into existing systems.
