Looking for a high-performance shut-off valve that’s simple, reliable, and cost-efficient? The Floating Ball Valve is the perfect solution for general-purpose fluid control. At Perfect Engineers, we manufacture precision-engineered floating ball valves that are trusted by industries across water, oil, gas, steam, chemicals, and utilities—offering tight sealing, low torque operation, and easy maintenance.
A Floating Ball Valve has a ball that is not anchored but held in place by two elastomeric seats. When fluid pressure is applied, the ball floats slightly downstream, pressing against the seat and creating a tight, leak-proof seal.
This design is widely used for low to medium pressure systems, typically in valves up to 6” in size.

The ball is not fixed—it moves slightly with pressure to press against the downstream seat and seal.
No. Use V-Port ball valves for throttling. Floating valves are best for on/off service.
Yes—for low to medium-pressure steam, use graphite-seated floating ball valves.
Use metal-seated or cavity-filled floating valves for paints, slurries, or sticky fluids.
Yes. Available with cavity-filled, tri-clamp, and FDA-approved designs.
