A PVC ball valve is a type of shut-off valve made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic that uses a rotating ball with a hole through the center to control the flow of liquid or gas in a pipe.

Inside the valve is a hollow ball:

• When the hole lines up with the pipe, flow passes through.
• When the handle is turned 90 , the solid side of the ball blocks flow completely.
