The self-aligning ball moves freely against the PTFE seats for smooth operation. The ball is diamond turned after molding to make it spherically perfect, which provides precise contact between ball and seats. These are side-load valves, and they provide directional flow, right or left. The valve cannot be turned off. A 90° mounting bracket, replacement handle, and repair kit are sold separately for select sizes.
