Valves are an important part of the plumbing pipeline system, and are important components to control and regulate the direction, pressure and flow of the fluid medium in the pipeline. From the perspective of material composition, the materials of valve products include copper, iron, galvanized steel, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc. Among them, copper has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, bacteriostasis, long service life and easy processing, and has become the preferred material for plumbing valves.

Valves and other plumbing equipment are mainly used in housing and urban infrastructure construction and other related fields, and the industry prosperity has a certain correlation with the investment scale of fixed assets and real estate. The global valve demand market is mainly concentrated in developed countries that have entered the late stage of urbanization and emerging market countries that are in the process of accelerating urbanization. In developed countries, the demand for more spacious bathrooms and kitchens has increased the demand for plumbing fittings, especially higher-value plumbing fittings. In developing countries, the demand for water and sanitation is increasing, along with rising incomes and government incentives. In addition, the demand for mid-to-high-end valves and fittings with more water-saving efficiency continues to increase, further driving the demand for plumbing valve products.
