Pond Plumbing

Ball valves are quarter-turn, straight through flow valves that have a round closure element with matching rounded seats that permit uniform sealing stress. 

Ball valves are used in situations where tight shut-off is required.  The type of seat can vary with the valve pressure rating and materials of construction.  

This may be used as a disconnect to allow access to your pump, filter, or reservoir to allow for easy maintenance

Quality Bulk Heads that allow for clean side wall or bottom penetration through liners, filter boxes, etc.

Appropriate for creating a water-tight outlet on filter boxes or rigid ponds.

PVC Swing Check Valves limit the flow of water to one direction. This prevents water from flowing backwards or backing up into your pump or filter.  These are full flow "swing" type valves, with no springs or flow restrictions.

PVC slip connection, available in:

• Standard slip connection, clear PVC

Knife Valves allow you to tightly close off the water lines of the connected piping to allow for maintenance on joined mechanisms such as pumps or filters without shutting down your pond.

Gate valves (also known as knife valves or slide valves) are linear motion valves in which a flat closure element slides into the flow stream to provide shut-off. Gate valves and knife valves are designed to minimize pressure drop across the valve in the fully opened position and stop the flow of fluid completely. 

The direction of fluid flow does not change, and the diameter through which the process fluid passes is essentially equal to that of the pipe. Hence, they tend to have minimal pressure drop when opened fully.
