Valves

A ball valve opens or closes water flow manually, while a non-return valve, or NRV, allows water to move in one direction only. Use ball valves for faucets and tap isolation, and NRVs to protect pumps and water systems in Saudi homes and projects.

For most Saudi homes, 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch valves are enough for faucets and washing machines. Main supply lines or larger villas and projects may need 1 inch or 2 inch valves. Always match the connection type and pressure rating before buying.

Yes. Brass ball valves work well for fresh water in Saudi residential and commercial projects when pressure is within the valve’s rated range. They generally handle higher pressure than plastic valves. For desalinated water or industrial use, check body material, connection type, and temperature limits.

Inspect the valve body for cracks or damage, and make sure the handle turns smoothly. After installation, open and close it, then check the joints for drips or moisture. If leakage continues, tighten the fitting correctly or replace the valve to prevent water waste.
