What Is A Side Entry Ball Valve?

Side Inlet Ball Valve is a valve that installs a ball from the side of the valve body and installs and removes internal components from the side. Here are the details:
1.Structural features
Installation method: The ball of the side entry valve is mounted on one end of the valve valve body, and the seat and ball are secured and pressed with screw sleeve. This structure makes it relatively easy to manufacture and install ball valve, especially for small diameter situations.
Split design: For larger rated side ball valves, a split-body structure is usually used, in which the body is divided into three parts along a cross section perpendicular to the shaft of the two valve seats channel. This design makes the valve easy to manufacture and suitable for the manufacture of large valves with small equipment.
2.Performance advantages
Low fluid resistance: When the side entry valve is fully open, the diameter of the fairway, valve channel and connecting tube is equal and forms a diameter, and the medium can flow through almost without loss, so there is less fluid resistance.
Fast opening and closing: the side entry valve can be rotated by 90 degrees to achieve full opening and closing, fast opening and closing, convenient operation.
Good sealing: the side ball valve adopts soft seal or metal hard seal structure, the reliable sealing performance, suitable for all kinds of media and working conditions.
Long service life: simple side ball valve structure, no vulnerable parts, long service life.
3.Application scenarios
Side-ball valve is suitable for all kinds of media pipelines. It can be adjusted and controlled, and has the function of distributing, cutting and changing the flow of media. Side ball valves have significant advantages, especially in specific spatial configurations where the valve body needs to be designed to be insulation jacket with viscous or crystalline media such as urea.
