Chrome-Plated Brass Ball Valve

The Haws SP260 is a stay-open ball valve constructed from chrome-plated brass with a stainless steel stem. It functions as an on/off control with a lever handle for shower installations. The valve accepts horizontal or vertical mounting orientations. Inlet and outlet connections use 1-inch NPT threads.

Suits Safety Shower Installations

This valve fits Haws safety shower systems that require a 1-inch NPT stay-open ball valve. It is not intended for buyers who need a different pipe size, thread type or a valve without the stay-open feature. Installers requiring a normally closed or solenoid-operated valve should look at alternative designs.

Stay-Open Lever Operation

The defining characteristic is the stay-open lever mechanism that keeps the valve open once activated without continuous hand pressure. This behaviour is required for emergency drench showers where hands-free flow is mandated. Verify that your system calls for a stay-open ball valve before selecting this model.

Questions about this item

What does the 1 in. NPT inlet and outlet connection limit in practice?

The 1 in. NPT threads restrict flow to what a 1 in. pipe can deliver, so the valve cannot pass more volume than that pipe size allows.

What clearances are needed for the 11 in. height and 4 in. width when mounting this valve?

Allow at least 11 in. of vertical space and 4 in. of horizontal clearance so the lever can rotate fully without striking walls or adjacent fittings.

How is the SP260 installed, and what step is often missed?

Thread the 1 in. NPT ends onto horizontal or vertical pipe runs, then verify the lever stays open on its own; forgetting to confirm the stay-open action is the common oversight.
