Compression ball valve PN 10 bar, d 32 × 1" (female)

The PN10 compression ball valve is an optimal choice when you need a reliable shut-off or flow-control point on a larger-diameter main line. This model is designed for installation on high-density polyethylene pipes (PEHD/HDPE) Ø32 mm and is fitted with a 1” female threaded outlet. It is a versatile solution for cold-water supply systems, irrigation lines, and distribution nodes in a private home, garden plot, greenhouse, or small farm—anywhere tight sealing, environmental resistance, and easy maintenance are essential.

At the core is a ball mechanism. A quick turn of the handle switches the valve to “full-bore flow” or “complete shut-off.” This design is valued for dependable sealing: when closed, water flow is stopped entirely, reducing leak risk, pressure loss, and unnecessary water consumption. In irrigation systems, this is particularly convenient—you can isolate a specific watering zone, service a filter, or replace a line component without shutting down the entire network.

The compression connection provides even clamping around the pipe, helping achieve a tight joint without specialized tools. This is especially useful when installation is performed in restricted-access areas such as a chamber, caisson, pit, or distribution cabinet. Unlike metal valves, the polyethylene body is not subject to corrosion and resists many external chemical influences, making it well suited for humid environments and outdoor operation.

The valve is rated PN10 (up to 10 bar) with a maximum working temperature of up to 40 °C, which aligns with cold-water applications and most medium-pressure irrigation layouts. It is compatible with widely used fittings and threaded connections, so it can be easily integrated into both new installations and existing pipelines. Designed for long-term service, its average lifespan can reach around 20 years when installed and used correctly.

Installation and commissioning: install on a clean, straight pipe section following the flow-direction arrow. Tighten carefully without excessive force to avoid damaging the thread. Before commissioning, check all joints for leaks. During pressure testing, keep the valve closed; when first introducing water, slightly open it to reduce the chance of joint movement in systems with compression connections.
