The invention provides a ball valve excelling in economy due to the efforts devoted to the reduction of cost, enjoying light weight and high reliability, manifesting high and uniform accuracy, and enabling manufacture of compact finished products having a small interface dimension, and provides a method for the production of the ball valve. The ball valve includes a body formed from a pipe having a predetermined length by subjecting opposite terminal parts (ends) of the pipe to a plastic processing including flaring and diametrical contraction. The body has at a central position a seat-shaping part (seat) formed with a stem-inserting hole, a stem inserted into the stem-inserting hole, a ball disposed non-rotatably at a lower terminal of the stem, and a pair of inserting members having an annular shape forced into the body from opposite terminals of the body. Opposite terminal faces of the body are compression-formed so that the pair of inserting members receive and support the ball rotatably.
