About Our PVC Valves
Valves play an important role in piping systems by controlling the path, pressure, and speed of the material flowing through the pipe. A valve may create an opening, remove an opening, or partially obstruct the fluid in the pipe, making them necessary for turning water off and on, and also essential in repairs.
PVC is a durable and multipurpose thermoplastic. When used as the basis for a valve, it can be installed both indoors or outdoors since it is non-corrosive and non-reactive. PVC valves also stand up to physical impact and a range of temperatures.
We sell PVC valves that are compatible with systems of different pressure ratings including:
- Schedule 40 PVC Valves – Schedule 40 is for low pressure applications, typically residential or landscaping. Our Sch 40 valves fit with the equivalent pipe.
- Schedule 80 PVC Valves – For higher pressure applications, both pipe and valves must have a higher pressure rating. These valves use thicker exterior walls to better handle high pressure.
Our valves can also fit systems using flexible PVC pipe, hoses, and tubing so that you can complete your piping project with affordable valves that will last for decades.
Where to Use PVC Valves – Industries We Supply To
Anywhere PVC pipes are used to convey fluids, valves are often necessary to help manage the flow of water, chemicals, sewage, and more.
Our PVC valves work in:
- Home and Commercial Plumbing – Plumbing and drainage systems use a variety of valves. While residential systems can usually rely on lower pressure valves, some commercial properties may require Schedule 80 PVC valves.
- Landscaping – Sprinkler and drip systems use valves to control the amount of water delivered to different areas, and also serve for shutting down systems in wintertime. We supply sprinkler valves to landscapers and gardeners.
- Manufacturing – PVC pipe and valve systems are used in food processing, bottling, and product manufacturing because of their flexibility and durability. Among our inventory, we have valves that can be adapted to industrial uses.
- Chemical Processing – PVC is an ideal material for valves and piping where chemicals are present, as the plastic will not react with most chemicals.
- Agriculture – Large scale irrigation systems require valves for the same reasons as landscaping – controlling water usage in different areas and throughout the year. PVC valves are suitable for both land-based agriculture and aquaculture.
While these are some of the main industries we support with PVC valves, they are far from the only ones that will find the valves they need in our online inventory. The versatility of PVC, combined with the many options for valves, means that you can find a product type that matches the project.
Types of PVC Valves We Carry
As one of the leading PVC valve suppliers, we have all the valve types most commonly used in plumbing, irrigation, and more, all ready for immediate order on our website.
These valve types include:
- Ball Valves
- Gate Valves
- Globe Valves
- Butterfly Valves
- Plug Valves
- Pinch Valves
- Diaphragm Valves
- Check Valves
When you have a system that will operate at higher pressure or temperatures than PVC can withstand, we also have valves from CPVC, polypropylene, and metals. These valves can handle temperature in excess of 140 degrees, depending on the material, and may be suitable in situations where a PVC valve is not advised.
Different valves are available with different connection types which will determine how they are installed. Our inventory includes valves for either a socket and thread, socket and glue, or socket and tape installation, as well as valves that can be installed with flange joints.
In addition to the range of valve styles, we also carry an extensive inventory of sizes so that you can adapt valves to a planned or existing pipe system. The dimensions we carry for our different valves include:
- ¾ inch
- 1 inch
- 2 inch
- 3 inch
- 4 inch
- 6 inch
- 8 inch
The available dimensions and which size is right for your project depend largely on the PVC valve type, intended use, and pressure rating. As with selecting pipe and connector dimensions, you will want to select valves that can safely handle the mass pressure and capacity expected in the system.
