Both homeowners and property owners frequently misuse, and do not understand the proper operation of the various water line valve types. There are three types of main control valves for water lines: brass gate, ball, and OS&Y, water main valves. These three types of water line valves are each made with different purposes in mind. One very common question this video answers is the difference between a gate valve vs ball valve. To learn more please visit http://www.balkanplumbing.com/water-m.... Water valves are manufactured in different styles, and a variety of sizes. Valves are also manufactured to different quality levels, and tolerances as well. For instance, because OS&Y valves are intended for fire protection systems, they must be UL-rated. UL stands for United Underwriters Laboratories, an internationally recognized testing facility.

Water main valves that are installed using the incorrect style or size can be a code violation, pose a fire hazard, or result in a decrease in the supply of water to a building. In addition, misusing them can result in needless and costly repairs. The Balkan YouTube channel is devoted to answering your questions and informing you.
