What this valve controls
This 1/4-inch FNPT bronze ball valve handles steam, vacuum and general media in two-way inline service. It is built for installers and maintenance crews who need a straight-through, standard-port shut-off that meets a 150 psi steam rating and 600 psi operating pressure.
What the lever handle changes
The non-locking lever gives quick quarter-turn operation without a padlock point, so operators can open or close the line in seconds. Chrome-plated bronze ball and bronze body resist corrosion while the two-piece construction keeps the flow path straight for steam or vacuum down to 29 in Hg.
How it fits and where it catches
Thread the 1/4-inch FNPT ends directly into matching pipe — no special tools beyond standard wrenches. The valve carries a Proposition 65 notice for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm, so wear gloves and wash hands after handling. No 3-A rating means it is not suited for sanitary food-grade lines.

Questions about this item
Will the chrome-plated bronze ball need periodic lubrication?
The chrome-plated bronze ball and bronze body operate without scheduled lubrication under normal service.
Which pressure limit is reached first during continuous steam service?
The 150 psi steam rating is the governing limit, well below the 600 psi general operating rating.
Does the lever handle transmit noticeable vibration or heat during all-day steam use?
The bronze body conducts steam heat to the lever, so the handle becomes hot to the touch during sustained operation.
