There are two types of two inch ball valve bodies available on the market: galvanized and carbon steel. They both accomplish similar results, but there are some important differences to consider when choosing one or the other. A carbon steel 2 inch ball valve will be more durable and have a longer life span than a galvanized model. However, a galvanized 2 inch ball valve may be less expensive, but it is also more prone to deterioration. It is recommended that a professional repairman perform any work involving plumbing because a galvanized 2 inch ball valve is less likely to corrode than a carbon steel model.

Both of these valve bodies are designed to make use of an expansion valve stem. A steel stem makes it possible for the valve to be closed during cold weather and expand when the weather warms up. Because of this feature, it is possible for two inch ball valves to control both the temperature of the water inside the system as well as the pressure. When the valve is open, the water inside will be evenly heated while the valve closes preventing water from flowing out.

If the valve is shut while the water is flowing, the valve will stop heating and the water will stop flowing.

The threaded pipe and tubing used with a two inch valve can be constructed in a variety of ways. The most common way to achieve a threaded pipe is to make a long section of threaded pipe that can be inserted into a hole in the valve body. Alternatively, a threaded portion of metal may be added to the valve itself or to the stem of the valve. This option is most often chosen for two inch valves over two and a half inch due to the increased possibility of an overflow.

A two inch stainless steel or aluminum valve is the most commonly installed valve. These valves are easy to install using only one person. They do not require the use of power tools and are very inexpensive when compared to other types of water control valves. This style of valve is also often found on sprinkler heads and hand-held shower heads that control the flow of the water. Some shower heads also have valves that require the use of special adapters, but these are generally not as common.

An interesting variation on the two inch ball style valve is the pop-up valve. The pop-up valve is similar to the standard two inch ball style, except it pops up instead of closing when the valve is closed. This valve is used in applications where a valve is needed for only one valve or a small section of a valve. This type of valve is not used in large water systems as it requires more room.

As the technology for ball valves has improved, so has the design and function. In the past two decades, the most popular type of water control valve has been the two inch ball valve. The two inch ball was originally designed to be installed at the point in the pipe that the water enters the system. The ball was then connected to a flexible metallic surface that was sealed. Water would enter the water supply line and the ball would rotate. When the water began to fill, the seal would be broken and the water would flow from the ball valve.
