A 1/2-inch Ball Valve is a quarter-turn shut-off valve used to control the flow of liquids and gases in plumbing, industrial, and irrigation systems. It operates using a rotating ball with a bore (hole) through its center, allowing for full flow when open and complete shut-off when closed. Ball valves are widely used due to their quick operation, durability, and excellent sealing properties.
