Dear All,
I required some number 1" AL Bronze ball valve 4 - 8 bar pressure for a project I'm working on. The client specified Reduced Bore, A well known supplier qouted Full bore valve, considering the pipe size and flow rate accros the pipe there is no or minimal pressure drop.
Please advice on this issues.

At 1", the cost difference is not so much and your supplier has given you something a bit better. Only you know if this costs more than another supplier offering reduced bore....
