When it comes to the water supply in your house or business, ensuring that you have a reliable system that is easy to operate is critical. Within this system, one of the most essential components is the water main ball valve.
At Harris Water Main, we always prioritize our clients' safety and satisfaction. That's why we recommend using full port ball valves for water mains of 2" or less. These valves offer a reliable and efficient solution for controlling the flow of water from the external water line to inside your property.
In the past, gate valves were commonly installed with new water mains, but they have proven to be less dependable than ball valves. One of the primary reasons for this is that gate valves become difficult to turn after extended periods of time without use. Additionally, they use a stem that lowers inside the valve, making it more likely to get stuck in a halfway closed position. These issues effectively decrease the amount of water pressure in the building.
Ball valves, on the other hand, are full flow and easy to operate. The valve is open when the handle is aligned with the pip, and the full port ensures that there is no restriction to the water flow.
At Harris Water Main, we always use high-quality full port ball valves during our water main installations to ensure that our clients have the best system possible. Our team of experienced professionals is knowledgeable about the latest industry practices and regulations and works closely with our clients to provide tailor-made solutions that meet their specific needs.
