Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball valves, and more specifically, to a low-torque ball valve. Background Art

[0002] The opening and closing part of the ball valve is a round sphere with a hole. The ball core rotates 0-90° around the valve stem axis to open or close the valve. Ball valves have many functions and are generally used in pipelines for switching or regulating media. Most ball valves are used in heating and air conditioning water systems and tap water pipeline transportation.
