A ball valve is a device with a spherical closure unit that provides on/off control of flow. The sphere has a port, also known as a bore, through the center. Ball valves are known for reliable, bubble-tight sealing. Thus, they are a great choice forgas applications where tight shutoff is necessary.
Gas cocks are shut-off ball type valves commonly used in installation of residential and commercial appliances and heating equipment such as gas stoves, fireplaces, water heaters, boilers, furnaces, etc. They are compatible with natural, manufactured, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or propane) or air mixtures of such.
