Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What materials is this 304 stainless steel ball valve made from?

A: The body of the valve is constructed from grade 304 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance. Internal components are made from copper, ensuring a reliable seal and smooth operation across water, gas, and oil applications.

Q: What does BSP female thread mean, and will it fit my pipes?

A: BSP stands for British Standard Pipe – the most widely used thread standard outside of North America. "Female" (or internal thread) means the threading is on the inside of the valve port, designed to connect to a male (external) BSP fitting. If your existing pipes or fittings use BSP male threads, this valve will connect directly.

Q: What sizes are available and how do I choose the right one?

A: This ball valve is available in 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 2" sizes. Simply match the size to your existing pipe diameter. If you are unsure, measure the outer diameter of your male fitting and consult a standard BSP size chart to find the correct nominal size.

Q: Can this valve be used for both gas and water?

A: Yes. This two-piece BSP ball valve is rated for use with water, gas, and oil media, operating at pressures below 850 kPa. Always ensure your application pressure does not exceed the valve's rated maximum and that local codes permit the use of this valve type for your specific gas or oil installation.
