The 2-1/2 in. Schedule 40 Socket Ball Valve (#940300) is a PVC Schedule 40 ball valve for corrosive chemical, water treatment, and industrial fluid handling applications where metal valves would corrode. Quarter-turn operation, lightweight body, and non-metallic wetted parts make it a standard choice in chemical dosing systems, water treatment plants, and irrigation infrastructure.
