Two-Piece Brass Ball Valve

The Milwaukee Valve BA-485BLL is a manual two-way ball valve built for 1/2 inch sweat connections. Its two-piece brass body contains a chrome-plated brass ball with a full-port design. The valve handles combustible gases and water at a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi and holds a vacuum rating of 29.92 in Hg. A locking handle secures the open or closed position.

For Sweat Copper Installations

This valve suits plumbers and contractors joining 1/2 inch copper tubing with sweat fittings in gas or water lines. The full-port bore maintains flow capacity through the valve. Installers needing threaded, press-fit or push-to-connect ends should select a different model. Systems requiring a rated steam pressure limit must verify suitability elsewhere.

600 psi Operating Pressure

The 600 psi maximum operating pressure is the primary figure that determines whether this valve fits the system design. It applies to non-shock cold water, oil and gas service. Confirm that the pipeline test pressure and working pressure stay within this limit before specifying the BA-485BLL.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the BA-485BLL generate when it stays open all day?

The valve body is brass and has no moving electrical parts, so it produces no measurable heat during continuous operation.

What pipe and tools must I already have to install this 1/2 inch sweat valve?

You need 1/2 inch copper tubing, flux, lead-free solder, a propane torch and a pipe cutter or hacksaw for the sweat connection.

Will the full-port chrome-plated ball restrict flow in my existing 1/2 inch copper lines?

The full-port design matches the inner diameter of standard 1/2 inch copper pipe, so it adds no measurable restriction to the older plumbing.
