Ball valve ideal for commercial and residential flow control systems using water, oil, gas or steam. Featuring a blowout proof stem and full port operation with an easy lever handle operation, this valve is an ideal and durable option. The adjustable packing gland allows for stem leaks to be solved by simply tightening the packing nut, which compresses the internal components, and lengthening the valve's operational life. An added benefit of this valve is the simple locking mechanism that allows a padlock to work with the handle securing your valve from tampering.
