Ball valves are used throughout fuel piping systems where a shut off is required or desired. Full port valves have larger bodies than standard valves.

This larger body houses a larger ball and larger opening inside. Full port valves have openings the same size as the surrounding pipe. For example, a 2” full port ball valve will be compatible with a 2” pipeline and it will have a 2” valve opening inside the ball.

This is great for applications that require very little to no flow loss. When a full port valve is in the “on” or open position, it’s like there is no valve at all. Flow is unrestricted.
