How to Select a Hayward Ball Valve

Hayward ball valves are used for three primary functions:

1. On/off flow control with a standard true union ball valve

2. Diverting or mixing flow with a three-way ball valve

3. Restricting or modulating flow with a proportional control ball valve

With the exception of the compact QV series, all Hayward ball valves feature true union design. This allows the valve body to be removed for maintenance without disturbing the pipeline connections and provides an important safety benefit because the true union threads are designed to relieve pressure before the valve body can be damaged.

True Union Ball Valve Options

• Lock-out handles to prevent unauthorized operation

• Custom valve tags with your part number or description

• Stem extension kits (6 inch to 96 inch) for hard-to-reach or hazardous locations

Actuation Options

Any Hayward true union ball valve can be supplied as actuator-ready or fully assembled with an electric or pneumatic actuator. We can also convert existing manual valves to automated operation using the proper mounting kit and actuator.
