What is a Floating Ball Valve

A floating ball valve is a quarter-turn valve where the ball is supported by seats rather than fixed trunnions. It is usually for low to medium-pressure systems requiring reliable shutoff, compact design, and cost efficiency.

 

Features
 
 
 

Pressure-Driven Sealing

Line pressure automatically pushes the ball against the downstream seat, increasing sealing force as pressure rises.

 
 

Self-Adjusting Seat Contact

The floating ball can slightly move to align with the seat, ensuring consistent sealing and reducing leakage risk.

 
 

Suitable for Medium and Low Pressure

Performs most efficiently in Class 150–300 systems where trunnion support is unnecessary.

 
 

Lower Structural Cost

No trunnion design reduces material and manufacturing costs.
