Key Features

Key benefis of 2 inch Ball Valves (DN50).
1

Key Features

The full bore design of 2" ball valves allows unrestricted flow, minimising pressure drop across the system. This makes them ideal for applications where maintaining flow efficiency is critical.
2

Key Features

Built from durable materials such as stainless steel, brass, or PVC, these valves are designed to withstand tough industrial conditions. Their solid build ensures long-term reliability and resistance to wear or corrosion.
3

Key Features

With just a 90-degree turn of the handle or actuator, these valves can be fully opened or closed. This allows for fast shut-off and simplified operation during system maintenance or emergencies.
4

Key Features

Precision-machined ball and seat components deliver excellent sealing performance even under high pressure. This helps prevent leaks and ensures system integrity over time.
5

Key Features

Available with threaded, flanged, or welded ends, 2" ball valves can be easily integrated into various pipeline systems. This flexibility makes them suitable for both new installations and retrofits.
6

Key Features

These valves can be fitted with pneumatic or electric actuators for automated control. Ideal for process plants, they support remote operation and integration into larger control systems.

Why Are 2" Ball Valves (DN50) Important?

2 inch Ball Valves (DN50) are essential components in medium-to-large scale fluid handling systems where consistent, reliable shut-off and flow control are required. Their size offers a perfect balance between capacity and control, allowing high volumes of liquid or gas to pass through without sacrificing efficiency or safety. This makes them especially valuable in applications like water treatment, chemical processing, oil and gas, HVAC systems, and manufacturing lines.

Their full bore design ensures minimal pressure loss, while the quick quarter-turn operation enables fast and easy isolation in critical situations. The ability to handle a wide range of media—combined with their durability, sealing integrity, and compatibility with automation—makes them a go-to choice for engineers and operators seeking dependable performance. In demanding environments where downtime is costly and safety is paramount, DN50 ball valves provide peace of mind and operational excellence.

Where Would You Find 2" Ball Valves (DN50)?

2" Ball Valves (DN50) are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial systems where medium to high flow rates need to be controlled or isolated. You’ll often see them in water treatment facilities, managing pipelines for clean water, wastewater, or chemical dosing. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, they're used for handling aggressive fluids and gases, providing reliable shut-off and resistance to corrosion.

They're also widely used in HVAC systems, steam applications, and industrial processing plants, where they help regulate water, steam, oil, or compressed air with minimal pressure drop. In food and beverage production, DN50 ball valves are used on CIP lines and fluid transfer systems for their easy cleaning and hygienic design (when made from stainless steel). Whether installed manually or automated with actuators, 2 inch ball valves play a key role in maintaining system efficiency, safety, and control across a variety of sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

A ball valve is used to start or stop the flow of liquids or gases by rotating a ball with a bore inside the valve body. It provides quick, reliable shut-off with minimal pressure drop.

Ball valves use a hollow, pivoting ball that aligns with the flow path when open and rotates 90° to block flow when closed. The handle position clearly indicates whether the valve is open or shut.

Ball valves are not ideal for throttling or precise flow regulation, as partial opening can cause seat wear and turbulence. They're best used in fully open or closed positions.

Ball valves can be made from stainless steel, brass, bronze, PVC, CPVC, carbon steel, and other alloys. Material choice depends on the application, pressure, and media compatibility.

Yes, many industrial-grade ball valves are designed to handle high pressures, especially those made from metal with reinforced seals and full-bore designs.

Common types include two-piece, three-piece, flanged, wafer, full bore, reduced bore, and multi-port ball valves. Each type suits different installation and maintenance needs.

Ball valves have a long service life, especially in clean systems. With minimal moving parts and a durable seal, they often outlast other valve types when used correctly.

Most ball valves are bidirectional and allow flow in both directions. However, some designs may be unidirectional depending on the seat and body configuration.

Yes, ball valves can be fitted with pneumatic or electric actuators for remote or automatic control. This is common in industrial and process automation.

Ball valves are generally low maintenance. Three-piece designs are preferred where service or cleaning may be needed, as they allow in-line maintenance.

Ball valves are used across many sectors, including oil & gas, chemical processing, water treatment, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and HVAC systems.

Ball valves come in sizes ranging from 1/4" (DN08) for small systems to 12" or larger (DN300+) for industrial pipelines. Size selection depends on flow rate and pipe compatibility.
