OUR RANGE OF BALL VALVES
Our Range of Ball Valves
Ball valves are very versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. This is because they can withstand high temperatures and pressures, easy to use and inexpensive.
Ball valves are classified as a quarter turn shut-off valve which controls the flow of fluid or gas with its rotating ball. Ball valves can have 2, 3 or even 4 ports, however, most ball valves have 2.
Ball valves are known as a full port valve as the spherical ball has a straight bore right through it meaning that the flow path has no restriction of flow. This is because it is equal to the inside diameter of the pipe or tube that it is mounted to.
The valve can be opened or closed by turning the lever on the top of the valve. For the flow to pass, the bore should be aligned with the flow of the fluid. To block the flow, the ball can be rotated perpendicular to the flow path.

FlexiFlow: Stainless Steel Braided Flexible Hose
The Metal Company stock both PTFE and stainless steel convoluted flexible braided hoses. We hold these in stock ready for dispatch over night. Because of their flexibility these hoses are great for reducing mechanical vibration, compensating for expansion and contraction or misalignment of pipework.
RapidPress Deburrer Tool | RapidPress Rundown
The RapidPress Deburrer Tool is designed for use on RapidPress tube from 15-54mm but can also be used on other stainless tubes or pipes. Watch Patrick discuss what the deburrer tool is and how to use it.
RapidPress Rotary Tube Cutter | RapidPress Rundown
The RapidPress rotary tube cutter is our preferred method of cutting tubes from 15mm – 76mm as it leaves a burr free edge on the external of the tube. Watch Patrick discuss how to use this tool.
RapidPress Expansion Bellows | RapidPress Rundown
When pipelines are heated or cooled it can cause them to expand or contract in length. If this is not compensated for it can put extreme pressure on welds or pressed joints resulting in failure. Watch Patrick discuss our RapidPress Expansion Bellows.
