**Abstract:** An electric ball valve is a type of valve that operates by rotating around the axis of the stem, and it is equipped with an electric actuator to control its movement. This kind of valve is primarily used to shut off or regulate the flow of media in pipelines. The V-shaped ball valve with a hard seal is especially effective due to its strong shearing force between the V-shaped ball and the metal seat made from hardfacing alloy. It is ideal for use with media containing fibers or small solid particles. Electric ball valves come in various types such as flanged, threaded, welded, and inline models. They can also be classified based on their sealing mechanism—either soft-sealed or hard-sealed.
Here are six key advantages of electric ball valves: (1) **Simple structure and compact size** – Electric ball valves are lightweight and easy to install, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. (2) **Low fluid resistance** – Full-bore ball valves offer minimal flow resistance, ensuring efficient fluid passage. (3) **Easy maintenance** – Their simple design allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the sealing ring. (4) **Self-cleaning function** – The ball valve has a wiping action during opening and closing, which helps prevent clogging in media with suspended solids. (5) **Protects the sealing surface** – When fully open or closed, the ball and seat are isolated from the medium, preventing erosion. (6) **Reliable sealing** – With two sealing surfaces, modern materials like plastics and other advanced seals ensure long-lasting performance.
Do you know about electric ball valves? Let’s take a closer look at their working characteristics. If you're not familiar, this guide will help you understand how they operate.
Electric ball valves are ideal for systems requiring precise control, especially where there's a large pressure difference, strict sealing requirements, or the need to cut off pipeline media. They can operate within a temperature range of -20°C to +150°C, with special seals available for up to +250°C. In terms of pressure, they are available in ratings from PN16 to PN100, including PN25, PN40, and PN64. For more information, visit the official vertical valve homepage:


Linear Underground LED Lights for Outdoor Landscape
For contemporary architectural and landscape lighting, linear underground lights offer a sleek, modern solution that merges visual harmony with high-output illumination. Designed for wall grazing, façade accenting, pathway marking, and edge lighting, these fixtures integrate into the ground in a slim, linear form—creating clean lines of light with minimal intrusion.
As a leading manufacturer of outdoor LED lighting, we supply a full range of IP67/IP68-rated linear underground lights, engineered for performance, durability, and minimalism. Whether used to light up walls from below or to outline a modern garden path, our linear in-ground LED fixtures add structure, style, and safety to any exterior environment.
What Is a Linear Underground Light?
A linear underground light is a recessed ground-mounted LED fixture with a rectangular or bar-shaped design, typically ranging from 200mm to over 1000mm in length. Unlike round or square in-ground lights, linear models provide continuous, directional illumination, often used for architectural wall washing, guiding lines along walkways, or highlighting building features.
These lights are embedded flush with the ground, making them walkable, weatherproof, and visually seamless.
Key Features of Linear Underground Lights
✅ 1. Architectural Beam Design
Linear LED buried lights are ideal for wall grazing or washing, creating elegant lines of light on vertical surfaces or along structural edges.
✅ 2. Durability for Outdoor Use
Our models feature IP67/IP68 protection, stainless steel or anodized aluminum bodies, and tempered glass covers—designed to handle harsh weather, water, dust, and pressure.
✅ 3. Uniform Lighting Output
Thanks to high-density LED chips and precision optics, these fixtures deliver smooth, shadow-free illumination across long lengths, minimizing visual breaks.
✅ 4. Low Profile, High Style
With widths as narrow as 25mm and shallow recessing depth, linear underground lights remain discreet and flush, fitting into tight architectural grooves, stone, or decking.
✅ 5. Multiple Beam Options & RGB Control
Choose from narrow spot beams to wide flood beams, RGB/RGBW color options, and smart DMX or DALI control systems to match any creative lighting design.
