A Ball Valve is a valve with a spherical disc, the part of the valve that controls the flow through it. The sphere has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur. When the valve is closed, the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and flow is blocked. Related Article Tags: , ,
A ball check valve is one of several different types of valves designed to permit the flow of material in one direction only. This type of check valve typically utilizes a spring-loaded ball inside a valve body. When pressurized material flows through the valve in one direction, the ball rises to allow passage. If non-pressurized material begins to flow in the opposite direction, the ball lowers to stop the unwanted material. Ball check valves are one of the simplest forms of one-way valves and can be used for many different applications including fuel and water pumping systems. Related Article Tags: , ,

A check valve, clack valve, non-return valve or one-way valve is a mechanical device, a valve, which normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. These valves are often designed for safety reasons, to prevent backflow and to ensure that someone operating a system knows which direction fluids and gases are flowing in.
A Flow Control Valve is a mechanical device used to regulate and control the flow of a liquid or gas. Typically, these control valves are non-mechanical, usually relying on the undesirable conditions of the regulated substance to open or close the valve. Occasionally, flow control valves will be regulated with exterior monitoring devices, such as pressure and temperature gauges. A flow control valve is usually either a diaphragm or globe valve, although other valves-such as modified ball and gate valves-have been used in certain applications. Related Article Tags: , , ,

A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is a safety device that is designed to divert pressure in the event that a pressurized system of some kind encounters a problem, which leads to a dangerous rise in pressure. One classic example of a pressure relief valve is the valve mounted on a hot water heater that "bleeds" if the temperature or water pressure inside becomes too high, preventing a catastrophic failure of the water heater.

PCV is a short term for Positive Crankcase Ventilation, these are one-way valves that are present in the engine crankcase of a car. It is housed in a system containing an intake breather hose and a valve as parts. The function of the PCV valve is to maintain the emission controls of the engine.
A pneumatic control valve is a valve that works via compressed gas to limit a device, preventing overloads, explosions or any number of other harmful effects. Newer control valves work through sensors that monitor the internal conditions of a device. The most common gas present in a pneumatic control valve is compressed atmospheric air. In addition to compressed air, most pneumatic control valve gases have a small amount of vaporized oil that keeps the internal parts of the valve lubricated as it functions. Related Article Tags: , ,
When purchasing a radiator whether designer, cast iron or standard you will require valves for the installation. Without the valves you will not be able to install the radiator. Radiator connections are mainly 1/2" BSP. BSP is a threaded connection. Some of the traditional towel rails have 3/4" BSP connections. This is a throwback to the days when these were fitted on gravity systems and bigger pipes were used. Related Article Tags: , , , ,
