A mini ball valve is a type of valve of small dimensions that utilizes an empty, holed and pivoting ball to control the flow that passes through it. It is set in the opening position when the perforation of the ball is aligned with the flow and in its closing one – when it is turned 90-degrees by the handle of the valve. Mini ball valves in London can have lengths of between 35 and 52 mm. Our plumbers in London can offer more information on this type of valves.
