What are AquaWeld UPVC/CPVC Ball Valves?
AquaWeld UPVC and CPVC Ball Valves are designed to regulate the flow of liquids through pipes. Made from high-quality UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) and CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), these valves feature a spherical closure mechanism (the ball) that provides quick on/off flow control. Their robust construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
Common Uses of AquaWeld UPVC/CPVC Ball Valves
- Plumbing Systems: Widely used in residential and commercial plumbing to control water flow and isolate sections of piping.
- Irrigation Systems: Essential in agricultural applications for managing the flow of water in drip and sprinkler systems.
- Industrial Applications: Suitable for various industrial processes where fluid control is necessary, including chemical processing and manufacturing.
- Swimming Pools: Used to manage water circulation and chemical flow in pool systems.
- Aquaculture: Ideal for controlling water flow in fish farming and aquaponics systems.

- Corrosion Resistance: UPVC and CPVC materials are resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments.
- Easy Operation: The simple quarter-turn design allows for quick and easy operation, providing instant flow control.
- Leak-Proof Sealing: The ball design provides a tight seal, minimizing the risk of leaks and ensuring efficient operation.
- Versatile Temperature Range: CPVC valves can handle higher temperatures compared to standard UPVC, making them suitable for hot water applications.
- Low Maintenance: With their durable construction, these valves require minimal maintenance, reducing long-term operational costs.
- Lightweight and Easy to Install: The lightweight nature of UPVC and CPVC makes these valves easy to handle and install, saving time and labor.
How to Use AquaWeld UPVC/CPVC Ball Valves
Step 1: Choose the Right Size
Select the appropriate valve size based on your piping system. Ensure it matches the diameter of the pipes you are working with.
Step 2: Prepare the Installation Area
Make sure the pipes are clean and free from debris. Properly prepare the surfaces to ensure a secure fit.
Step 3: Install the Valve
Use Threaded Connections: If using threaded connections, apply Plastochem PTFE thread seal tape to the male threads before screwing the valve into place.
Use Solvent Cement for Socket Connections: For socket connections, apply a suitable UPVC or CPVC solvent cement to the pipe and valve ends, and press them together firmly.
Step 4: Test for Leaks
Once installed, turn on the water supply and check for leaks around the valve. Tighten connections if necessary.
