A ball valve controls the flow of either a gas or liquid of some sort, in the case of the Econex SFF100 4”, gas or liquid gas. The sphere or ball in the middle of the valve has a port, or bore, through the center. When the ball valve is in the open position, the port in the ball aligns with the flow path of the pipe and allows gas or liquid to flow. When rotated 90 degrees, the valve is in the closed position, the hole is then moved from alignment with the pipe, therefore stopping all flow of gas.
