EN 13709 Ball Valve

An EN 13709 ball valve is a quarter-turn rotary isolation valve designed, manufactured, and pressure-tested in strict compliance with the European standard EN 13709. The valve utilizes a polished internal sphere that rotates 90 degrees within the body to provide either an unobstructed, full-port flow path or a bubble-tight, bidirectional shutoff in metric piping systems. Specially certified to European pressure equipment directives (PED) and categorized by PN pressure ratings (such as PN16, PN25, or PN40), it ensures absolute dimensional compatibility and face-to-face conformity across continental European process loops. EN 13709 ball valves are widely deployed in European chemical processing plants, district heating networks, maritime shipping systems, and industrial utility grids. Procurement networks and European piping contractors can ensure full PED compliance and exact metric dimensional alignment by importing premium EN 13709 ball valves directly from certified manufacturers in China through our B2B commercial platform.
