Vented Ball Valve – Built-in Safety for Pressurized or Hazardous Systems

A Vented Ball Valve is the smart choice when your system handles trapped media, gaseous fluids, or hazardous chemicals. At Perfect Engineers, we design and manufacture precision-engineered vented ball valves that enhance system safety by preventing pressure buildup between the ball and downstream cavity during shut-off.

Ideal for compressed air, gas, chemical, and hydraulic systems, our vented valves ensure that residual pressure is safely released, preventing accidents, leaks, or valve failure.

Vented Ball Valve

What is a Vented Ball Valve?

A Vented Ball Valve looks similar to a standard ball valve but features a small vent hole drilled into the ball or stem side. When the valve is in the closed position, the vent connects the ball cavity to atmosphere or a safe vent line—relieving pressure trapped inside the valve body.

This makes it especially useful in systems handling:

  • High-pressure gases
  • Toxic, flammable, or reactive chemicals
  • Liquids prone to thermal expansion

Inline Vented vs External Vented Ball Valves

Feature Inline Vented External Vented
Vent Direction Vents into downstream line Vents to atmosphere or drain
Common Use Process-safe gases or clean fluids Toxic, hazardous, or flammable media
Installation Type Standard in-line Requires vent connection or exhaust line
Safety Level Moderate High protection

Installation & Maintenance Tips

  • Always install with vent hole on correct side (upstream/downstream)
  • Use vented valves in systems where media can expand or off-gas
  • Inspect for residue around vent port—ensure it’s not blocked
  • Flush valve before maintenance if handling hazardous media
  • Use PPE when operating or servicing externally vented designs
