What's the difference between angle valve and ball valve?

Answer:

Generally, angle valves play four major roles:Switch out water outlet;When the water pressure is too large, it can be adjusted on the triangular valve, turn it down a little;With the function of switch, if the faucet leaks and so on, the triangle valve can be turned off in time, without closing the main valve in the house.The angle valve is generally a new house decoration essential water heating accessories, and play the role of a beautiful.
The main features of the valve itself is compact in structure, reliable sealing, simple structure, easy maintenance, sealing surface and spherical often in the closed state, the media can not easily be eroded, easy operation and maintenance for water, solvents, acids, and natural gas general working media, but also applies to poor working conditions of media, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane and ethylene, widely used in various industries. Ball valve body can be integrated, or can be combination.Angle valve is mainly suitable for heating pipes. Usually a connecting point between the hose and the wall that is attached to the wall and attached to the faucet above. Such as the bathroom taps are generally alternating hot and cold water, will be pulled out from the faucet two hoses, and then connected to the wall, embedded in the wall of the interface is angle valve. Because the heating pipe at the corner of the shape of 90 degrees angle, and the ball valve is straight through, so the basic difference between angle valve and spherical valve is that the angle valve exports and imports into 90 degrees right angle.
Angle valve is called "angle valve", because its inlet and outlet are 90 degrees angle perpendicular to each other, rather than straight into the ball valve straight out. Angle valve to cut off media, to facilitate the maintenance of terminal equipment, generally used for washbasin, kitchen sink, toilet water tank, water heater, cold and hot water inlet pipe. When an accident occurs in the water pipe or breaks and leaks after many years, then the angle valve is closed, which does not affect the normal water consumption at home and avoids economic losses.The ball valve has the same rotation 90 degrees of movement, different is the cock body is the sphere, has the circular through hole or the passage through its axis. 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, but the recent development of the ball valve has been designed so that it has throttling and control flow, such as V ball valve.
Ball valve, as its name suggests, is the shape of a ball valve, water from the hole in the middle of the ball out, usually the handle to control the opening and closing. But the ball valve can only be switched on and off, and can not adjust the flow. To put it plainly, you take it half open and half closed, and its flow is not about 50%, and fluctuates greatly. In addition, if the ball valve will be half closed, it will damage the ball valve, greatly shorten its life. Ball valve is mainly used for heating hot and cold water inlet pipe.
