Residential Valves

Residential valves control, isolate, or regulate water flow in home plumbing systems. Common types include ball, angle, gate, check, and pressure reducing valves. Selection depends on function (shut-off, throttling, backflow prevention, or pressure control), pipe size, connection type, and the working pressure and temperature of the line.

FAQ

What valve is best for a simple on/off shut-off?
A ball valve is the common choice for reliable isolation because a quarter turn fully opens or closes it and it seals tightly. Gate valves are also used for isolation but operate more slowly.
Do residential water valves need to be lead-free?
In many markets potable-water valves must meet low-lead requirements (for example NSF/ANSI 372 or equivalent). Confirm the specific certification required for your destination market against the datasheet.
