What Is a Floating Ball Valve?
A floating ball valve is a quarter-turn shut-off valve in which the ball is supported by the valve seats and allowed to move slightly under media pressure. This design enables the ball to press tightly against the downstream seat, ensuring dependable sealing performance. Floating ball valves are widely selected for small to medium sizes and medium pressure industrial applications.
As a professional floating ball valve manufacturer, ZONCIC provides high-quality industrial floating ball valves in carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel materials for global customers requiring reliable shut-off, long service life and compliance with international valve standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a floating ball valve and a trunnion ball valve?
A floating ball valve uses line pressure to push the ball against the downstream seat for sealing, while a trunnion ball valve has additional upper and lower support for the ball. Floating ball valves are commonly used for smaller sizes and medium pressure applications.
What standards can your floating ball valves be manufactured to?
We can manufacture floating ball valves according to API, ASME, DIN, JIS and GOST standards depending on customer market requirements and project specifications.
What materials are available for your floating ball valves?
We can supply floating ball valves in WCB, LCB, CF8, CF8M, duplex stainless steel and other special alloy materials depending on the working medium and service conditions.
Can you provide floating ball valves with actuator?
Yes. We can provide manual floating ball valves as well as pneumatic actuated and electric actuated floating ball valves for automated industrial control systems.
Do you offer customized dimensions and special requirements?
Yes. We support customized dimensions, special materials, special pressure classes and project-specific technical requirements for industrial floating ball valve applications.
