A 3-Inch PVC Unthreaded (Glue-Type) Ball Valve (commonly referred to as a Ball Cork) is a heavy-duty manual flow control valve designed for large-scale plumbing, irrigation, and pool systems. Unlike threaded versions, this valve features smooth "slip" sockets, requiring PVC solvent cement (glue) for a permanent, leak-proof connection.
Key Specifications
Size: 3-inch (80mm) internal diameter, ideal for high-flow mainlines.
Material: High-quality U-PVC, which is resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and UV degradation.
Operation: A 90-degree lever handle allows for quick "on/off" control, providing a full-port flow with minimal pressure drop.
Pressure Rating: Typically rated for PN10 or PN16, making it suitable for both gravity-fed and pressurized pump systems.
