Posted by Bundor valve
What are the types of water valves?The type of water valve on the market has a lot of kinds, for example: ball valve, globe valve, check valve, butterfly valve, triangle valve, gate valve and so on, among them the ball valve, globe valve, check valve is the more widely used water valve on the market at present, because these several kinds of valves are easier to be made small diameter valve.
Gate valve
1. Gate valves, ball valves and triangle valves are made of iron or steel and are widely used in water supply pipelines.Among them, the triangle valve is widely used in the connection between the pipe and water inlet hose, and the gate valve is generally used in the connection between the pipe and water meter, ball valve is widely used in the connection between the pipe and water heater.Because ball valves can be opened and closed more easily than gate valves, many people also choose to use ball valves when connecting pipes to water meters.

2. There are a lot of types of water valves, different types of valves, its structure, performance, use range, as well as the price and so on will have a relatively large difference, when choosing a valve, according to their own needs or installation environment, to determine the type of water valve to be rotated.

3. When choosing a water valve, to observe whether the valve surface has sand holes, if the valve surface has electric coating, to observe whether the surface gloss of the electric coating is uniform, whether there is cracking, peeling, black spots, pitting and other phenomena.

4. If it is a small-diameter water valve, which is usually connected with thread, it is necessary to observe whether there are dents and broken teeth on the surface of the thread, and pay attention to whether the length of the thread is within the effective length. Generally speaking, the effective length of the thread of DN15 cylindrical pipe is about 10mm.
