When you inspect a ball valve, the arrow simply points to a direction of preferred flow indicated by the manufacturer. In many cases it simply shows the pressure-bearing direction or “recommended” flow. In other cases the valve is designed only to flow in that direction (a unidirectional ball valve) and has internal features (single‐seat design, cavity relief holes) that require...
Well, we just got a new shipment of PVC fittings. A lot of new sch-40 and sch-80 fittings are back in stock. The price still affordable even with the new tariff. Hopefully things will improve for next year. If you need anything, please let us know! Thank you for your business and please have a nice day!

A “Y-filter” (or Y-strainer) is a fitting in the shape of a “Y” that contains a mesh or perforated basket to trap debris (sand, rust, scale, etc.) before the fluid continues downstream. The “Schedule 80” refers to the wall thickness rating (stronger than Schedule 40). Here are the key advantages and use cases: BenefitExplanation / ReasonHigher strength / pressure ratingSchedule...
When you’re installing plumbing, irrigation, or HVAC piping, space and efficiency are everything. One of the simplest yet most valuable fittings you can have in your toolbox is the street elbow. Whether you’re a contractor, plumber, irrigation specialist, or HVAC technician, understanding what a street elbow is — and when to use it — can make your installations cleaner, faster...
When selecting a PVC shut-off valve, one small detail can make a big difference in long-term performance — whether the internal ball is chromed or non-chromed. While both versions perform the same basic task — controlling liquid flow — their construction and finish affect sealing ability, smoothness of operation, and resistance to wear or chemicals. To help you choose the...
Sure! Here’s a big list of 100 practical, creative, and industrial things you can do with a Schedule 40 PVC Cross (4-way fitting) — spanning plumbing, irrigation, hydroponics, DIY, furniture, and fun projects. Plumbing, Irrigation & Water Systems Split water flow into four directions Connect four drainage lines Build a central junction in a drip irrigation system Connect garden hose...
A True-Union Ball Check Valve is a non-return valve designed to allow fluid to flow in one direction only while automatically preventing backflow. It operates using a free-floating ball that seals against a seat when flow reverses. It’s called a “true-union” valve because both ends of the body have union fittings, allowing the valve body to be removed for cleaning...
