A wafer type ball valve is a compact and lightweight valve designed for use between pipeline flanges. It operates using a ball with a hole through its center, which rotates to allow or block the flow of fluids. The design eliminates the need for extended body flanges, making it ideal for installations where space is limited. With a simple quarter-turn operation, these valves offer efficient and reliable flow control for various applications.

Wafer type ball valves are widely used in industries where space-saving and lightweight solutions are essential. Common applications include water treatment plants, HVAC systems, chemical processing, food and beverage production, and marine systems. They are also frequently used in pipeline systems that require quick and easy installation without the need for heavy flanges.
