A one-way valve that is opened and closed by pressure on a ball that fits into a cup-shaped opening
A ball valve is a valve with a spherical disc, the part of the valve which controls the flow through it. The sphere has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur.
(Ball Valves) Contains a slotted metal or plastic ball that aligns with the hot and cold water inlets when rotated by the faucet handle. Ball valves are reliable but tedious to fix. A metal valve is more durable than plastic under most circumstances.

chasing ball
saw this ball on the water and decided to capture it. Had a great time chasing it. To be ablr to get a grip on it I had to find the valve. Then take some air out to be able to handle it.

I couldn't pass up the blue of the handle and the yellow of the tube, particularly as it was all reflected in the shiny surface of the side wall.
