3-inch PVC ball valve union
This valve uses a straight two-piece body made of PVC with a PVC ball and a standard port. The lever handle is non-locking and the socket ends suit a nominal 3-inch pipe size. It is rated for water media at a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm.
Sustained pressure performance
The 150 psi rating applies to continuous water service at ambient temperature rather than a momentary surge. Steam pressure, combustible gas and vacuum service are not rated, so the valve should not be used in those conditions. PVC construction resists corrosion but will soften if the fluid temperature exceeds the material limits. The two-piece design allows the union to be broken for maintenance without cutting pipe.
Practical limits of the PVC socket interface
Socket connections require solvent cement and correct pipe alignment for a leak-free joint. The standard port restricts flow slightly compared with a full-port design, which may matter in high-volume systems. No 3-A sanitary rating is claimed, so the valve is not suited for hygienic process lines. The lever handle provides manual operation only and cannot be locked in position.

Questions about this item
How much pressure can the 3-inch PVC ball valve handle during continuous water flow?
The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, making it suitable for standard residential and commercial water supply lines running all day.
What pipe size and fitting type are required to install this valve?
You need 3-inch nominal PVC pipe and solvent-weld socket fittings on both ends to connect the valve directly into the line.
Will this valve connect to older metal plumbing without extra adapters?
No, the socket ends are designed for PVC pipe only; joining to metal threads requires a separate male or female adapter fitting.
