The Blue Handle Ball Valve is a manual water control valve used to open or shut off water flow in piping systems. It is widely applied in plumbing, construction, irrigation, and industrial water supply systems.

The valve works through a simple quarter-turn mechanism. By rotating the blue handle 90 degrees, users can quickly control water flow on or off.

This product is made of nickel-plated brass, which provides better corrosion resistance and a cleaner surface compared to standard brass. It is suitable for long-term use in humid and water-based environments.

The size 1/2" × 3/4" is a common transition specification in international plumbing systems, allowing flexible connection between different pipe sizes. This makes it widely used in engineering projects and wholesale distribution.
