Collection:Electric On/Off PVC Ball Valves

Explore Tameson’s wide range of 2-way electric PVC ball valves from various global manufacturers. A 2-way electric PVC ball valve has a PVC (Polyvinylchloride) housing and two ports: an inlet and an outlet, and a ball with a bore in it. They are operated by an electric actuator that turns the ball 90 degrees, which is why they are often called quarter-turn ball valves or shut-off valves. An electric-actuated ball valve can be broken down into two main components, namely, the electric actuator (servo motor) and the ball valve. PVC, a type of plastic, is lightweight, strong, and durable, giving it long service life. An electric PVC ball valve is often a cost-effective alternative to its metal housing (brass or stainless steel) counterpart as long as it is resistant to the media and the pressure/temperature range is suitable for PVC. A PVC ball valve with an actuator can be commonly seen in water management and irrigation applications. It is suitable for corrosive media like seawater, most acids and bases, salt solutions, and organic solvents. However, it should not be used for aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbon media applications. The temperature range is from -15 to 60 degrees C (5 to 140 degrees F), and it has a lower pressure rating when compared to a brass or stainless steel housing.
