Corrosion in Chrome Ball Valve
Corrosion in Chrome Ball Valve
(OP)
Hi Every one,
We have recently installed 1" Chrome Ball Valve in SS pipe and the valve is connected to the pipe by means of threading. Both the pipe and valve are in water. But after a month of installation, we find rusting on the valve. Can any one please provide the reason for this. Thanks in advance....

If the handle is rusting (most general-purpose valves have a zinc-plated steel or galvanized sheet metal handle), you should source a handle in a stainless steel, or duplex if salt water.

Let it rust, it should still last a long time.
If it is interfering with valve operation then get a SS handle.
