Forged brass ball valves are made by forging high-quality brass under high pressure, which makes them more durable and capable of handling higher pressure levels compared to other types of valves. This type of valve is designed to offer a reliable seal, ensuring that water flow is efficiently controlled without leaks. These valves are commonly used in water pipe systems due to their robustness, long lifespan, and ability to withstand harsh conditions.

One of the primary advantages of forged brass ball valves is their superior corrosion resistance. Unlike valves made from materials like steel or plastic, forged brass resists rust and corrosion caused by exposure to water and chemicals. This makes them ideal for plumbing valves in environments with high humidity or exposure to water that can cause corrosion in other types of valves.

Stainless steel valves are another common choice for water pipe systems, especially in industrial applications. Stainless steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly when exposed to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or environments prone to corrosion. However, stainless steel valves are generally more expensive than forged brass ball valves, which can make them less cost-effective for residential or low-budget projects.

While stainless steel offers great strength and durability, its material is typically more susceptible to damage from water hammer, a phenomenon that causes pressure spikes within plumbing systems. Unlike forged brass ball valves, which tend to be more forgiving under such conditions, stainless steel valves may experience wear and tear more quickly if subjected to constant pressure changes.
