Both sides have a compression connection with a union nut; the lever opens or closes the water flow with a quarter turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDirect installation in the line\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ball valve is designed for a continuous PE line without a thread or additional adapter. It is suitable for shutting off individual irrigation zones, maintenance work and seasonal shutdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsert the pipes into the two compression connections and tighten the union nuts by hand. The full passage reduces pressure loss when the valve is open. A valve box is recommended for operation when installed underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePreparing the pipe end and checking the connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the PE pipe outside diameter to match the version. Cut the pipe squarely, deburr it and clean the sealing area. Insert the pipe and seal according to the installation instructions; the union nut secures the connection. Carry out a leak test before burying it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bradas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball valve with PE connections on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePipes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariants:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20, 25, 32 and 40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic, corrosion-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBall valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic with full passage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating lever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ergonomic, 90° turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 PE compression fittings with union nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated O-rings on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tool-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zone separation, irrigation distribution systems, winterisation, garden irrigation and agriculture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is this ball valve used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt shuts off individual lines or irrigation zones, for example for maintenance, winterisation or separate control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pipe diameters fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ball valve is available for PE pipes with 20, 25, 32 or 40 mm outside diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need tools for installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Insert the pipes and tighten the union nuts by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the ball valve be installed underground?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The plastic is corrosion-free. A valve box makes it easier to access the operating lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the water pressure remain the same downstream of the ball valve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven an open ball valve creates flow resistance. The full passage limits the additional restriction; actual pressure loss depends on the flow rate and the complete installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes shutting off the valve automatically winterise the line?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Water can remain in a shut-off line. Before frost, drain the system using its intended procedure, including the ball valve and lower sections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bradas","offers":[{"title":"25 mm","offer_id":65834697851229,"sku":"3515-25","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"32 mm","offer_id":65834697883997,"sku":"3515-32","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 mm","offer_id":65834648928605,"sku":"3515-40","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 mm","offer_id":65833854206301,"sku":"3515-20","price":2.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1068\/5520\/3165\/files\/kugelhahn-mit-schlauchverbinderjpg-12298454.jpg?v=1788728364","url":"https:\/\/brixoro.eu\/en-nl\/products\/bradas-pe-ball-valve-two-compression-connections-20-40-mm","provider":"Brixoro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
