Threaded PVC-U Ball Valves
U-PVC Solvent Socket Ball Valve
U-PVC solvent socket ball valve is a plastic ball valve with socket connections at both ends, joined to PVC pipe using solvent cement (PVC adhesive). Solvent socket joining provides a more permanent and leak-free connection than threaded; it is the most widely used connection type in PVC piped pool, treatment and chemical lines.
Thanks to its double-ended (EDE) design, the sockets remain cemented to the pipe while the valve body is removable. Available in sizes Ø20–Ø110 mm, with EPDM seals for water lines and FKM seals for chemical lines and acid-duty options. Actuator-ready models are available.
