What's the difference between a hot melt ball valve and a ball valve in general? What's the use of it?

Answer:

In general, both sides of the ball are wire interface, and hot melt ball valve on either side or side of the live connection with PP-R short tube, as a hot melt interface, so called hot melt ball valve. As for the use, there is no obvious difference, but the connection is different.
Ball valve (in the field of marine engineering and ships should be cut-off valve), standard GB/T21465-2008 "valve terminology" is defined as: "open and close parts (spheres) driven by the stem, and around the axis of the ball valve to rotate the valve movement.". Can also be used to regulate and control fluid, strong shear force between the metal seat seal V type ball valve V type ball core and welding hard alloy, especially suitable for containing fibers, small solid particles and other media. Switch and multi way valve in the pipeline not only can flow, and flow diversion, flexible control of the medium, but also to turn off any channel to the other two channels. This kind of valve should be installed horizontally in the pipeline. In accordance with the way to drive the ball valve is divided into: pneumatic ball valve, electric ball valve, manual ball valve.Ball valve was introduced in 1950s, with the rapid development of science and technology, production process and product structure of continuous improvement, in a short span of 40 years, has rapidly developed into a major valve category. In western developed countries, the use of ball valves is increasing year by year.
The ball valve is defined with the ppR/PE hot melt plastic pipe connected with the ball valve hot melt connection, ordinary ball valves generally use the threaded connection or flange connection.Hot melt connection is widely used in PB pipe, PE-RT pipe and other new pipe connections.Hot melt connection has the advantages of simple connection, long service life and easy corrosion.PPR pipes can only be connected by hot melt. There is a dedicated connection PPR tube double union copper ball valve, ball valve is full of copper, on both sides with PPR live tab.
