Ball Valve 3/8 inches Stainless (GS30001) by Recmar A ball valve is a flow control device that regulates the flow of liquid through a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball. The valve is open when the ball's hole is parallel to the flow inlet. Ball valves are high recovery valves because of the size of the opening in the ball, which contributes to their low-pressure drop and high flow capacity. A ball valve is better suited for applications that require a faster opening and closing speed or in an emergency because of its quarter-turn on/off operation. A gate valve is slower to operate than a ball valve because it requires more than a 360° turn.
