A ball valve is typically considered a non-directional valve, meaning it can be installed in either direction within a piping system. It allows fluid to flow through it regardless of the flow direction, as long as the valve is fully open or closed. However, for optimal performance, it is advisable to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding installation orientation.

What's the difference between floating ball valve and fixed ball valve?

The ball ceramic valve evolved from the plug valve, in which there is a plug initially. The ball valves also can be divided into floating ball valve and fixed ball valve. The differences between floating ball valve and fixed ball valve are as follows. For the fixed ball valve, the ball is fixed and will not move even under pressure. There are floating valve seat to press the sing real tightly on the ball when suffering the media's pressure. Besides, the axletree is equipped with the stem connecting with the ball. The floating ball valve contains the ball floating inside. The structure is simple and has good tightness. When the media goes through, the pressure is passed into the seal rings, therefore the material of the seat rings should be well considered in design.
