Ball cork valve in Kenya

What is a Ball Cork Valve?

Ball cork valve is a type of valve primarily used in irrigation and water systems. It operates using a spherical ball with a hollow opening in the center. When the valve is open, water flows freely through the valve; when it’s closed, the ball blocks the flow, preventing water from passing through. The quick rotation of the ball (typically 90 degrees) ensures fast and efficient flow control.
