Brass & bronze ball valve
GH-1003 Nickel plated brass full port ball valve
A nickel-plated brass full-port ball valve is a high-performance fluid control device designed for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The valve’s core components are made from brass, a material prized for its machinability and resistance to dezincification, while the exterior is electroplated with a protective nickel layer. This nickel coating significantly boosts the valve’s ability to withstand harsh conditions, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, saltwater, or high temperatures, making it ideal for marine, industrial, or outdoor applications. The full port design can make a more fluid flow to pass freely through the valve. The valve operates via a spherical ball with a precision-drilled bore. Rotating the ball 90 degrees using a lever, handle, or actuator aligns the bore with the flow path to allow full fluid passage or positions it perpendicularly to shut off the flow completely. This simple yet efficient mechanism ensures quick, reliable on/off control for liquids, gases, or steam.
