Ball
Valves and Sodium Hypochlorite: Sodium hypochlorite
is inherently an unstable compound. As it decomposes, the
resulting crystalline salts and oxygen gas can cause operational
and safety issues with conventional ball valves. Hayward
addresses these issues with the "Z-Ball" design.
It effectively vents the gases while keeping the inner surfaces
constantly wetted, ensuring problem free use. The "Z-Ball"
valves are readily identifiable by the black handle and
special label identifying the direction of the liquid flow.
The hole is always positioned on the upstream side of the
ball.
