The Waits Bronze Two-Piece NPT Ball Valve, with durable aluminum bronze body for corrosion resistance, features a two piece design and precision ball for zero-leakage sealing. NPT threads allow easy install/actuation, ensuring reliable fluid control in diverse environments.
The Waits Bronze Two-Piece NPT Ball Valve controls opening and closing by rotating the ball. When the ball's channel aligns with the pipeline axis, the valve is fully open, allowing media to flow freely; when the ball rotates 90 degrees, the sealing surface on the ball fits tightly with the valve seat, blocking media flow and closing the valve. It is easy to operate and quick to open/close, requiring only a 90-degree rotation from fully open to fully closed with relatively low operating torque. Aluminum bronze, a copper alloy with aluminum as the main alloying element, offers high strength, good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance. For highly corrosive media such as seawater and weak acid solutions, the aluminum bronze two-piece NPT ball valve provides reliable sealing and long service life, making it suitable for applications in chemical, marine, and offshore engineering industries.

Performance Characteristics
The Bronze Two-Piece NPT Ball Valve features a two-piece design composed of two main valve body parts assembled via bolts or other connections for easy installation, disassembly, and maintenance without removing the entire pipeline system to save time and cost, uses a spherical sealing element with aluminum bronze material on the ball for good corrosion and wear resistance as the ball rotates around the axis to open/close with unobstructed flow and low resistance when fully open, and adopts NPT connection for good sealing and strength to conveniently connect with other pipes, fittings, or equipment with corresponding thread interfaces in various installation environments.
