What Is a Side Entry Ball Valve?
A side entry ball valve is a ball valve with a body design in which the internal components are assembled from the side of the valve body. Compared with top entry designs, side entry ball valves are commonly used because of their practical manufacturing structure, reliable sealing performance and cost efficiency for a wide range of industrial applications.
As a professional side entry ball valve manufacturer, ZONCIC provides reliable valves for medium to large size pipeline systems where strong mechanical performance, dependable shut-off and flexible design selection are required. Side entry ball valves are widely used in oil & gas transmission, petrochemical plants and general industrial service lines.
