Built for Agricultural Applications
The 40mm Ball Valve is well suited to a variety of farming and irrigation applications, including:
- Agricultural irrigation systems
- Garden and landscape irrigation
- Water distribution lines
- Water tanks and storage systems
- Pump and filtration systems
- Greenhouse irrigation
- Livestock watering systems
- General farm plumbing
- Water supply and drainage installations
- Isolation of individual irrigation zones
Its straightforward design allows sections of a water system to be isolated without shutting down the entire installation, making maintenance and repairs easier and more efficient.
Easy Quarter-Turn Operation
The manual handle provides simple and positive operation. A 90-degree turn allows the valve to move from fully open to fully closed, making it easy to identify and control the flow position.
This quick shut-off feature is especially useful on farms where irrigation lines and water points may need to be isolated regularly for maintenance, repairs or changes to the irrigation layout.
Durable Construction
Depending on the specific model, 40mm ball valves are available in materials such as PVC/uPVC, brass or zinc-alloy construction. uPVC versions offer excellent resistance to corrosion and scaling, while metal versions can provide a robust solution for higher-pressure water applications.
The valve should always be selected according to the required pipe connection, operating pressure, temperature and application.
Why Choose a 40mm Ball Valve?
- Quick shut-off: Quarter-turn operation allows fast control of water flow.
- Reliable isolation: Ideal for separating irrigation zones and sections of pipework.
- Easy to operate: Simple manual handle design requires minimal effort.
- Versatile: Suitable for agricultural, irrigation, plumbing and water-management applications.
- Low maintenance: The simple ball-valve design requires minimal routine attention when correctly installed.
- Efficient flow: Full-bore designs allow high flow capacity with relatively low restriction when fully open.
- Practical installation: Available in different connection configurations to suit various irrigation and plumbing systems.
40mm Size
The 40mm size is commonly used for medium-sized irrigation and water-distribution pipework. Depending on the valve type, 40mm may refer to the nominal connection size, while threaded versions may also be described as 1½ inch. Always confirm the connection type and actual dimensions before ordering to ensure compatibility with your existing pipework.
Ideal for Farms, Irrigation & Water Management
Whether you are installing a new irrigation system or maintaining an existing farm water network, the 40mm Ball Valve provides a practical way to control and isolate water flow. It can be installed at strategic points throughout an irrigation system to allow individual lines, zones, tanks or equipment to be shut off when required.
Choose the 40mm Ball Valve for simple, dependable and convenient water-flow control across your agricultural and irrigation system.
