V Port Threaded Ball Valve
Production Overview
The V Port Threaded Ball Valve from Vcore Valves is designed for precise flow control in applications that require tight regulation of fluid flow. The valve features a V-shaped ball that provides accurate flow control and allows for more precise adjustments compared to standard ball valves. This valve is especially effective in systems that involve throttling and metering, such as chemical processing, water treatment, and HVAC systems.

Function
The V Port Threaded Ball Valve is designed to regulate the flow of fluid in pipelines with more precise control than a standard ball valve. The V-shaped ball enables accurate throttling, allowing users to adjust the flow rate in a way that would not be possible with traditional full-port ball valves. This makes the valve ideal for systems where fine adjustments are necessary, such as chemical dosing or water treatment.
When the valve is fully open, the flow is unobstructed, minimizing pressure drop across the valve. However, when throttling is required, the V-shaped opening offers a more controlled flow, giving users the flexibility to adjust the flow rate smoothly. The non-rising stem design ensures smooth and efficient operation even in confined spaces, making it ideal for installations with space limitations.
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel or carbon steel, the valve body is designed to withstand harsh operating conditions. The threaded connection allows for easy installation in piping systems, especially in smaller lines where welding or flanged connections are not feasible. This valve is also equipped with a soft or metal seat, ensuring a reliable, tight seal with minimal leakage.
