If a two-way sealed ball valve is used, there are not too many requirements for the installation direction, and the direction will not be specially marked, and it can be installed in any direction. However, in the actual installation process, the ball valve body is often connected to the tank or material direction to avoid excessive leakage between the valve body and the valve cover. In addition, there is a one-way sealing ball valve. This kind of ball valve is directional. Usually, it will be marked on the ball valve. If the installation is reversed, it will affect the sealing effect under the full pressure differential state. Below, Mining Ball Valves Manufacturers introduce the installation requirements of 2 common ball valves:
1. One-way ball valve
In terms of installation direction, ball valves can be divided into two-way ball valves and two-way ball valves. The one-way ball valve has a clear directionality, that is to say, it needs to be installed according to the marked direction during installation, otherwise the sealing effect under the full pressure differential state is difficult to guarantee. Such as control type ball valve, V-type ball valve, eccentric hemispherical valve, etc., all have directionality, and there will be a sign of the medium flow direction in the valve body, and more attention should be paid during installation.
2. Two-way ball valve
The two-way ball valve also means that there is no clear direction requirement. No matter how it is installed, it will not fundamentally affect the effect of the ball valve. This type of ball valve is often a two-way sealed manual ball valve, such as a floating ball valve or fixed ball valve. All belong to the two-way ball valve, in theory, it can be installed in any direction. However, in the actual installation process, many people will consider the leakage between the valve body and the valve cover, so they often connect the ball valve body to the tank or material direction to avoid excessive leakage and affect the use.
