A ball valve is a quarter-turn shut-off valve that uses a bored spherical ball to open or close flow. A 90-degree handle turn moves it fully open to fully closed, giving tight sealing and low flow resistance, which makes it the standard isolation valve in residential plumbing.

Used as the main and branch isolation valve for cold and hot water supply lines, appliance shut-offs, and manifold isolation. Full-bore versions minimize pressure loss on supply mains.
