Description
PVC Ball Valve – Metric Plain
The PVC Metric Plain Ball Valve provides reliable on/off flow control for water distribution, irrigation, swimming pools and industrial pipework systems. Manufactured from durable PVC-U, these valves offer excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight construction and dependable performance.
Featuring metric solvent weld socket connections at both ends, the valve is designed for direct installation onto compatible metric PVC pressure pipe using suitable PVC solvent cement. The quarter-turn lever provides quick and convenient operation, allowing water flow to be isolated when required.
Suitable for both domestic and commercial installations, these PVC ball valves provide a practical solution for controlling water flow in a wide range of pipework applications.

Metric PVC Pipe Size Guide
Metric PVC pipe sizes are measured by the outside diameter (OD) of the pipe. The table below shows the corresponding pipe outside diameter for each nominal valve size.
| Valve Size | Metric Pipe Outside Diameter |
|---|---|
| 20mm | 20mm |
| 25mm | 25mm |
| 32mm | 32mm |
| 40mm | 40mm |
| 50mm | 50mm |
| 63mm | 63mm |
| 75mm | 75mm |
| 90mm | 90mm |
| 110mm | 110mm |
Important: Metric PVC pressure pipe is measured by its outside diameter. For example, a 50mm metric ball valve is designed to accept 50mm outside diameter PVC pressure pipe. Always check pipe compatibility before ordering.
Installation Information
Ensure the pipe ends and valve sockets are clean, dry and correctly prepared before installation. Apply a suitable PVC-U solvent cement in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Allow the solvent welded joints to cure fully before pressurising the system. Always check the manufacturer's specified pressure and temperature ratings to ensure suitability for the intended application.
