Choosing the right ball valve is a crucial step to ensure the efficiency, reliability, and optimal performance of the system in which it will be used. With over 70 years of experience in the industry, RuB has established a global reputation as a trusted partner, offering innovative solutions and specialized consulting to meet every application need. 

RuB ball valves are available in three main types—full port, nominal port, and reduced port—each designed to address specific operational requirements.

Full-port valves feature a bore diameter that matches the pipe size, providing an uninterrupted flow and minimizing pressure drops. This type is ideal for applications requiring high efficiency, such as industrial systems, drinking water networks, gas lines, pneumatic systems, and hydraulic installations. The RuB range predominantly consists of full-port valves, all certified to meet current regulations and offer maximum versatility across various sectors.

For applications that do not require maximum flow capacity, nominal-port valves provide a practical solution. Their slightly reduced bore diameter strikes an optimal balance between efficiency and cost-effectiveness, while limiting the pressure drop. These valves are widely used in domestic plumbing and HVAC systems, including underfloor heating, washing machine connections, and ice makers.

Reduced-port valves, on the other hand, are designed with a bore one size smaller than the pipe, making them a lightweight and economical choice for non-demanding applications. Similar to nominal-port valves, they are particularly suited for domestic environments and systems where maximum flow is not essential. This category also includes RuB mini and micro valves (https://www.bonomiindustries.com/valve-industry-news/mini-and-micro-ball-valves-small-size-big-performance-try-believe), offering compact and efficient solutions.
