TC Ball Valves

A TC ball valve is a type of sanitary valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and rotating ball to control the flow of a fluid. The "TC" stands for Tri-Clamp (or Tri-Clover), which refers to the hygienic connection system used to attach the valve to a pipeline.

These valves are essential components in industries where cleanliness and hygiene are of utmost importance.

How a TC Ball Valve Works

A ball valve operates with a simple quarter-turn (90-degree) mechanism.

  • Open: When the handle is turned to be in line with the pipe, the hole in the ball is aligned with the flow path, allowing the fluid to pass through.

  • Closed: When the handle is turned perpendicular to the pipe, the ball's solid surface blocks the flow, providing a tight, leak-proof shutoff.

This quick and easy on/off operation makes them ideal for applications requiring fast and reliable flow control.
