Lead-Free Brass Ball Valve

This 1/2 inch T-1960NL valve connects male NPT threads to F1960 cold-expansion PEX using DZR forged brass. It is built for potable-water systems that require no-lead components and dezincification resistance. Installers choose it for new residential or light-commercial plumbing rough-ins.

Replaces Leaded or Standard Brass Valves

The jump is worth it when local code mandates no-lead materials or when water chemistry attacks standard brass. It removes the need for separate dielectric unions in many mixed-metal runs. Do not use it where press-fit or crimp PEX connections are specified instead of cold expansion.

Cold-Expansion PEX Interface Limits

The F1960 connection requires an expansion tool and cannot be crimped or clamped. MNPT threads demand pipe dope or tape rated for potable water. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the alloy contains listed chemicals. The valve is not rated for gas, steam or high-pressure hydraulic service.
