African Valve leads as the best Floating ball valve supplier in South Africa. A floating ball valve is a type of quarter-turn valve used to control the flow of fluids in pipelines. It derives its name from the design of the ball within the valve, which floats between two sealing seats. They are widely used in the industry due to their reliable, easy to operate and simple design. It features a spherical or ball-shaped closure element that floats or moves freely within the valve body, hence the name. This ball has a through hole or bore that allows fluids to flow through when the valve is open and stops the flow when it's closed. The design ensures tight seal and minimizes the risk of leakage, they effectively handle the flow in both directions, which makes these valves a perfect choice for the application where flow direction may change.
