Brass ball valve
Brass ball valve
- A brass ball valve is used in Commercial Plumbing, Water wells, Residential, etc., and other applications where high temperature is required.
- It is a great option for potable water applications due to its high corrosion resistance.
- It’s also applicable in food and chemical industries, oil and gas processing, and gaseous fluid transport.

Introduction of Brass ball valve
This ball valve is primarily used to permit and stop media flow. It can be controlled either manually or automatically through an actuator. This valve type is made from the combination of copper and zinc. This gives the valve enhanced flexibility. Just like bronze, brass has high malleability, which means it is easy to forge or cast. A brass ball valve also has a high resistance to corrosion. However, it is not well-suited for process media containing high levels of chlorine.
While it is more expensive than bronze, brass has a high melting point. This makes the valve work well in applications that deal with really high temperatures. A brass ball valve is often used in natural gas lines but is also suitable for other industrial applications. XHVAL provides more well-performanced ball valves for your applications.

Are Ball Valves Made of Brass?
Ball valves are mostly made from brass, a metal alloy from zinc and copper. Other ball valve types by materials include copper, cast iron, bronze, stainless steel, ductile iron, PVC and CPVC.
Brass vs. Bronze Ball Valve
The main comparison between brass and bronze ball valves can be seen in their compositions, uses/benefits, costs, etc.
- Composition: Brass valves are composed of copper and zinc, while bronze ball valves are composed of copper, tin, and other additives.
- Uses/Benefits: Brass ball valves are malleable and more resistant to corrosion than bronze ball valves, making brass ball valves ideal for drinking water. On the other hand, bronze ball valves are somewhat malleable.
- Cost: Bronze ball valves are less expensive than brass ball valves.
Brass Ball Valve vs. Stainless
Brass ball valves sometimes get hard to turn and may be stuck over time. And forcing it to close or open when it’s stuck could damage the handle. The accumulation of dirt and sediment is likely why your ball valve is hard to close or open. A few tips and solutions for ball valve repair include;
- Make it a part of your routine maintenance exercise to regularly open and close the valve.
- Avoid over-turning your handle. The turning shouldn’t be more than one-quarter of a turn.
- Clean regularly, removing dirt and debris stuck in your valve.
