Is the drain valve the same as the ball valve?

Not the same, the drain valve generally refers to the pressure relief valve, when the pipe pressure exceeds the pressure set by the valve, it began to relieve pressure, when the pipe is less than the pressure set by the valve, automatically shut down. Ball valve can only achieve the switch function. Of course, if you take the ball valve as the drain valve, you can also only manually manual operation, and the pressure relief valve is automatic.

Ball valve in the pipeline is mainly used to do cutting, distribution and change the direction of media flow, it only need to rotate 90 degrees of operation and a small rotating torque can be closed tight. Ball valve is the most suitable switch, shut-off valve used, V ball valve. Electric valve should pay attention to the pipe parameters, but should pay special attention to its use of environmental conditions, because the electric valve in the electric device is a mechanical and electrical equipment, the use of its state by its use of environmental impact. Under normal conditions, electric ball valves, butterfly valves in the following environmental use should pay special attention to.

Drain valve and ball valve function is not the same.The main function of the drain valve is to protect the safety of the pipeline. When the water pressure is too large, it will drain automatically and reduce the pressure of the pipeline. It is a valve installed in the pipeline system.
