About copper gate valve and stainless steel ball valve
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I want to build a device. The condensate water pipeline in the device is planned to be galvanized pipes with a diameter of DN15. Is it more appropriate to use stainless steel ball valves or copper gate valves for the valves on the pipeline? Which one is cheaper in terms of price? Experienced people are welcome to discuss.
Any valve can be used for such a small diameter pipe :lol
Just use carbon steel stop valves, but stainless steel ball valves are a bit more luxurious.
Please ask the host: Does the usage environment or condensate water you mentioned contain ammonia? If there is ammonia, it is recommended that you do not consider steel valves, otherwise, corrosion will be very serious. Of course, if you can use carbon steel, try to use carbon steel. Stainless steel is much more expensive.
Since galvanized pipe is used, the pressure is definitely not high. What should we look at for the medium quality tools? Cast iron valves can be considered the most economical option.
Hello everyone, I made it very clear. There is water leakage in the pipeline. I just want to ask which kind of valve is suitable. Does anyone know the price? I have more pipelines and more valves
Is such a thin tube enough? The requirements for the use of valves are not high. The key is whether the condensate is recycled and what is the condition of the condensate? You need to be clear.
In the end, we still use cast iron valves, which are economical and economical. Copper ball valves are not very expensive, and today’s copper alloys are also very cheap.
