Brass Ball Valves

Bosch Rexroth Africa offers a range of brass ball valves from Omal, including 2- and brass 3-way valves suited for low, medium and high-pressure applications. These valves are designed for use with both aggressive and non-aggressive fluids, depending on the selected model and application requirements.

This range includes:

  • Model 100: a 2-way, full-bore, threaded-end brass ball valve for low pressure applications
  • Model 101: a 2-way, full-bore, threaded-end brass ball valve for medium pressure applications
  • Model 113: a 2-way, high-pressure, threaded-end, reduced bore brass ball valve for hydraulic and pneumatic applications
  • Model 115: a 2-way, full-bore, flat body, flanged valve — not suitable for aggressive media
  • Model D122: a brass ball valve with quick coupling capabilities for agricultural and animal-feeding applications
  • Model 153: a 3-way, full-bore, threaded-end brass ball valve for medium pressure with non-aggressive fluids
  • Model 160, 161: a 3-way, threaded-end brass ball valve — not suitable for aggressive media

Key Benefits of Brass Ball Valves

Brass ball valves are widely used across industrial, commercial and utility systems because they provide reliable shut-off, simple operation and long service life. Their robust brass construction makes them a practical choice for controlling the flow of water, air and compatible fluids in demanding environments.

Key benefits include:

  • Reliable shut-off: The internal ball mechanism provides fast, effective flow control for isolating sections of a system
  • Easy operation: A brass lever ball valve opens or closes with a simple quarter-turn movement
  • Durable construction: Brass offers good strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance in suitable applications
  • Flexible specification: Options include full-bore, reduced-bore, brass threaded ball valve, flanged, high-pressure and lockable brass ball valve configurations
  • Versatile use: Suitable for water, pneumatic, hydraulic, agricultural and selected industrial fluid-control systems, depending on model and media compatibility

For engineers, installers and maintenance teams, brass ball valves offer a compact, cost-effective and dependable solution for everyday flow control. Options such as a brass ball valve with lock, brass union ball valve or full port brass ball valve can also support specific installation and operational requirements.

Common Applications for Brass Ball Valves

Brass ball valves are used in a wide range of systems where dependable flow control and quick shut-off are required.

Their compact design, durable construction and simple operation make them suitable for both general-purpose and more specialised applications, depending on the selected valve model.

Common applications include:

  • Water systems: Brass ball valves for water are commonly used to control flow in industrial water lines, plumbing systems, utility services and general fluid-distribution networks.
  • Pneumatic and hydraulic systems: Selected high-pressure brass ball valve models are suitable for compressed air, pneumatic circuits and hydraulic applications
  • HVAC and building services: A brass water valve or plumbing brass ball valve can support heating, cooling and ventilation systems where reliable isolation is required.
  • Agricultural applications: Brass valves are used in irrigation, livestock watering, animal-feeding systems and other agricultural applications requiring controlled fluid movement.
  • Industrial fluid control: Brass ball valves can be used with compatible aggressive and non-aggressive fluids, depending on the valve specification and media requirements.

A brass valve for water, or brass gas valve or must always be selected according to the application, pressure rating, operating temperature and media compatibility. Whether used as an inline brass valve, a threaded brass ball valve or part of a broader process system, the correct valve selection helps improve safety, control and system efficiency.
