Reduced Bore (Reduced Port) Ball Valve – Cost-Effective Shut-Off for General Purpose Use

Looking for a compact, economical, and reliable shut-off valve? The Reduced Bore Ball Valve (also known as a Reduced Port Ball Valve) is your ideal choice for non-critical flow control applications. At Perfect Engineers, we manufacture and supply reduced bore valves in SS304, SS316, WCB, Brass, and PVC, perfect for water, air, steam, oil, and general industrial pipelines.

If your application doesn’t require full bore flow, a reduced bore valve helps you save space and cost—without compromising performance.

What is a Reduced Bore Ball Valve?

A Reduced Bore Ball Valve has an internal ball opening (bore) smaller than the diameter of the pipeline. This creates a slight restriction in flow, which is acceptable in many utility, HVAC, or chemical systems.

These valves are more compact, lighter, and affordable than full bore valves and are suitable for on/off control where flow turbulence is not a major concern.

Full Bore vs Reduced Bore – At a Glance

Feature Full Bore Valve Reduced Bore Valve
Flow Area Equal to pipe size Smaller than pipe size
Pressure Drop Minimal Moderate
Best For Slurries, pigging Water, air, oil lines
Size & Weight Bulkier More compact
Cost  (Budget-friendly)
Cleanability Better Standard

Material Options

  • SS304 / SS316 – For industrial chemicals, water, steam
  • WCB / CS – For high-temperature steam/oil
  • Brass – For LPG, HVAC, compressed air
  • PVC / CPVC – For irrigation, RO, water treatment

FAQs

Yes, flow rate is reduced by about 10–15%, but pressure loss is usually acceptable in general applications.

No. Use full bore or cavity-free designs for thick or abrasive media.

Yes. We offer all models with ISO 5211 pads for actuator mounting.

Up to 1000 PSI depending on valve size and body material.
