The refrigeration ball valve is a shut-off valve that keeps the line either fully open or fully closed and does not restrict the flow when open. It is used to evacuate only the relevant section of the line when replacing the compressor, filter drier, sight glass or expansion valve.
This category contains Danfoss GBC and Sanhua SBV series ODF solder ball valves.
