The structure of an aluminium ball valve is very simple, consisting of a body that contains the ball and its seals. The body is attached with a bolted connection between flanges. By loosening and partially removing the bolts, maintenance of the valve is easy. The middle part of the Jouka valve serves excellently as a spare part and is significantly quicker to replace compared to changing a seal kit.
The body of the Jouka ball valve is made of corrosion resistant aluminum. The ball is made of either anodized aluminum, carbon steel with hard chromium plating, or stainless steel. The ball seats are made of PTFE. The threaded welding neck and loose flanges are made of aluminum, steel, or stainless steel. The flange part of the loose flanges is usually made of aluminum. The O-rings of flanges and stems are made of Viton. Valves are also available with O-rings made of EPDM, NBR, or PTFE.
