Onda Corps Precision Ball Valves Raise Industry Standards

In today's increasingly stringent industrial environments and evolving application requirements, the selection of ball valves directly impacts the safety, efficiency, and reliability of fluid control systems. Onda Corporation, a leading Japanese valve manufacturer, leverages its extensive expertise and innovative spirit in ball valve technology to deliver comprehensive, high-performance solutions across industries.

Imagine complex industrial systems where various fluids flow through pipelines—ball valves function like vascular valves, precisely controlling flow direction and volume. A malfunctioning ball valve can disrupt production efficiency at best and cause safety incidents at worst. Onda Corporation understands this critical role and prioritizes product quality and reliability above all, delivering the most trustworthy ball valve products.

Onda Corporation offers an extensive product line of brass and bronze ball valves in various sizes, materials, and applications to meet diverse customer needs.

• FF Type (Full Ball®): Full-bore design matching pipe inner diameter minimizes fluid resistance, ideal for high-flow pipeline systems. Available in Rc thread × Rc thread connections with comprehensive specifications from 1/4B to 4B.
• FF2 Type (Full Bore Compact): Maintains full-bore design while reducing face-to-face dimensions for space-constrained systems, with enhanced pressure resistance.
• FF3 Type (Full Ball®): Features R thread × Rc thread connections, reducing pipe fittings and further shortening face-to-face dimensions for easier installation.
• FF Type (Full Ball®) Fire Protection Ball Valves: Certified by Japan's Fire Equipment Safety Center, specifically designed for reliable operation in emergencies.
• F Type (Regular Ball): Standard bore design with one size smaller ball diameter than pipe inner diameter, suitable for applications with moderate flow requirements.
• F2 Type (Compact Ball): Maintains similar flow performance to F-type valves with more compact dimensions.
• FS Type (Reduced Bore): Reduced bore design with ball diameter two sizes smaller than pipe inner diameter, ideal for precise flow control.
• T Type (Three-Way) Ball Valves: Three-port configuration for flow direction switching, available in standard and reduced bore options.

• B Type Ball Valves: Compliant with Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism public building standards, featuring reliable quality and stable performance with standard bore design.
• BS Type Ball Valves: Suitable for EcoCute (heat pump water heater) piping systems, offering six connection methods with standard and reduced bore options.

Onda Corporation actively responds to RoHS directives by developing environmentally compliant ball valves that strictly control hazardous substances from material selection to production processes.

Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+), Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE), and several phthalates.

• FF Type (Full Ball®) RoHS-Compliant: Full-bore design for high-flow systems.
• FS Type (Reduced Bore) RoHS-Compliant: Reduced bore for precise flow control.
• M1 Type Free Ball® RoHS-Compliant: Compact design for space-limited applications.

Onda's integrated ball valves with check valves combine both components into a compact unit, particularly suitable for water heater connections.

• Space-saving: Integrated design reduces piping connections.
• Dedicated check valve: 3/4-inch models offer 40% greater flow than 1/2-inch equivalents.
• Adjustable quick-release handle: Adaptable to various installation environments.
• Direct connection types: Compatible with PEX, PB, and HIVP pipes without additional fittings.
• Full-bore type: Large-diameter ball and check valve for high flow capacity.

Onda offers multiple connection types (AE, AL, AU, AJ) to accommodate different piping systems, with some products certified by the Japan Water Works Association.

• AE Type Ball Valves: Multiple exterior plating options.
• AL Type Ball Valves: Angle design for confined spaces.
• AU Type Ball Valves (U-Ball®): Compact construction.
• AJ Type Ball Valves: Direct copper pipe connection without welding.

Onda's Free Ball® and E-Ball® series feature compact designs for flexible applications.

• Adjustable handle position and switching direction for confined spaces.
• Applications: Compressed air systems, machinery, copper piping, small pumps, marine/agricultural equipment, instruments, and industrial machinery.

• Simple, cost-effective design with quick-release handles.

Onda's miniature ball valves suit compressor pneumatic piping and fuel tank copper pipe applications.

Onda's stainless steel ball valves offer exceptional corrosion resistance and stable quality across industries.

• Corrosion resistance: Austenitic stainless steel (SUS304/SUS316).
• Quality assurance: Investment casting process.
• Applications: Residential, water treatment, food, chemical, semiconductor, and environmental sectors.
• RoHS equivalent: Compliant with hazardous substance restrictions.

• Stainless Steel Ball Valves: Full-bore and reduced bore options in SUS304/SUS316.
• Stainless Steel Valves: Gate valves, swing check valves, Y-strainers.

Through technical excellence and quality commitment, Onda Corporation continues to innovate, providing superior ball valve solutions for safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible fluid control systems.
