1" Brass Ball Valve

Key features include a PTFE seat, a blow-out proof stem, a stainless steel handle, a corrosion-resistant coating, and stainless steel components. It uses threaded end connections and is designed with safety and reliability in mind, including a backflow preventer and a safety lock-out option.

Specifications at a glance: 1" nominal size, brass body, threaded ends, PTFE seat, stainless steel stem and handle, corrosion-resistant coating, and built-in safety features (lock-out capability, pressure relief, and backflow prevention) for secure operation.

To install: 1) depressurize and drain the system, 2) clean the pipe ends, 3) wrap male threads with fresh PTFE tape, 4) thread the valve onto the pipe by hand, then tighten with a wrench (avoid overtightening), 5) check for leaks by pressurizing the system and applying soapy water to the joints.

Operate via a quarter-turn: turn the handle 90 degrees to move between fully open and fully closed positions. Align the handle with the pipe flow direction when open and perpendicular to the pipe when closed.

Yes, it is designed for use with water and non-corrosive gas systems. Always verify local codes and ensure you use appropriate fittings and safety practices for each type of service.

Regularly inspect for leaks around connections and the valve body. If leak signs appear, re-seal with fresh thread sealant and re-tighten as needed (without over-tightening). Replace worn seals or components as necessary to maintain a tight shut-off.

Since this valve uses threaded ends, ensure you match the thread type (e.g., NPT) and size to your piping. Use the appropriate thread sealant and tighten to the recommended torque to prevent leaks.
