Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of brass or bronze
Non-iron/steel hand-operated valves shift to the brass subcategory within the same hand-operated group.
If power-operated or actuated
Actuated ball valves with motors or solenoids are classified separately from purely hand-operated types.
If imported as replacement parts without housing
Individual ball valve components like seats or stems are parts, not complete appliances.
