Introduction

Ball valves are used in a wide variety of air conditioning and refrigeration applications. They can be used for both liquid and gas applications. This type of valve is commonly used for isolating purposes. All ball valves are suitable for HCFC and HFC refrigerants, along with their associated oils. The SWP of these valves allows them to be used for R410A and sub-critical CO2 applications.
