Prevost Mini Ball Valve

Compact Control. Instant Isolation.

Space is often at a premium in pneumatic control panels and automation machinery. The Prevost Mini Ball Valve delivers reliable, full-flow shut-off capabilities in an ultra-compact form factor. Designed to fit where standard industrial valves won’t, this valve is the perfect solution for isolating individual circuits, gauges, or supply lines without cluttering your workspace.

Constructed from durable nickel-plated brass, it offers superior corrosion resistance and a robust seal, ensuring that “off” truly means off.

Key Features & Benefits

Ultra-Compact Design: Small enough to be installed directly on tool inlets, manifolds, or tight piping runs without adding significant weight or bulk.
Quarter-Turn Operation: Features a simple, ergonomic handle (often screwdriver-slotted or butterfly style) that cycles from open to close in a 90° turn for quick manual control.
Nickel-Plated Brass Body: Provides excellent protection against corrosion and wear, making it suitable for damp environments and ensuring a long service life.¹
Full Flow Performance: Despite its small size, the internal ball is engineered to maximize airflow and minimize pressure drop when open.
Versatile Media: Compatible with compressed air, water, and inert gases, making it a versatile component for various maintenance and automation tasks.

Why Choose a Prevost Mini Valve?

Plastic valves can crack, and full-size plumbing valves are too bulky for precision equipment. The Prevost Mini Ball Valve offers the durability of an industrial metal valve in a package designed for precision pneumatics.² It is the professional’s choice for reliable, low-profile flow control.
