Spears PVC Socket Utility Ball Valve, EPDM Seals
The Spears PVC Socket Utility Ball Valve, EPDM Seals is a general-purpose ball valve built for reliable on/off flow control in PVC piping systems. Constructed from PVC with socket (SOC) end connections for solvent-welded joints, this valve uses EPDM seals to provide a durable, chemical-resistant seal across the valve body and ball. It is designed for utility, irrigation, and light industrial plumbing applications where dependable, positive shut-off performance is required day in and day out. The compact ball valve design allows for quick quarter-turn operation, making it easy for installers to isolate sections of a piping run for maintenance, repair, or system modification without disturbing the rest of the line. Each valve ships 6 ea per pack, giving contractors, distributors, and maintenance teams a convenient quantity for stocking, job-site staging, and installation planning.
Key Features
- Durable PVC Construction: Molded PVC body resists corrosion, rust, and chemical attack, making it well suited for water, irrigation, and chemical-handling systems where metal valves would degrade over time.
- Socket (SOC) End Connections: Solvent-weld socket ends provide a secure, leak-tight joint when paired with matching Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings, simplifying installation in new construction and retrofit work.
- EPDM Seals: EPDM seal material offers strong resistance to a wide range of fluids, UV exposure, and temperature swings, supporting long-term sealing performance under repeated open/close cycling.
- Utility Ball Valve Design: Quarter-turn ball valve operation allows quick, positive on/off control of flow within the piping system, with a full-port style ball for minimal flow restriction when open.
- Lightweight, Corrosion-Free Body: The all-PVC construction keeps the valve lightweight compared to metal alternatives while eliminating the risk of rust or mineral scale buildup inside the valve body.
- Convenient Packaging: Supplied 6 ea per pack, simplifying inventory management, job costing, and truck-stock planning for contractors and distributors.
