1-Inch Brass Ball Valve
The Milwaukee Valve BA-485BLL is a manual two-way ball valve built from brass with a chrome-plated brass ball. It uses a straight, two-piece body and sweat connections for a 1-inch nominal pipe size. The full-port design allows unrestricted flow for water or combustible gases. A locking handle secures the valve in the open or closed position.
Ideal for Standard Plumbing and Gas Lines
This valve suits installers needing a 600 psi rated shut-off for water or combustible gas systems where a sweat joint is required. The locking handle adds safety for applications requiring a fixed position. Buyers needing a threaded, flanged, or press-fit connection should look elsewhere. It is also not rated for steam service or 3-A sanitary standards.
600 PSI Maximum Operating Pressure
The 600 psi pressure rating is the primary specification that determines if this valve fits the system design. It defines the safe working limit for water and gas lines at standard temperatures. The valve also holds a vacuum rating of 29.92 in Hg. Verify the system pressure does not exceed this limit before installation.

Questions about this item
Does the valve body get hot or vibrate when water flows through it all day?
The brass body conducts fluid temperature but the valve itself has no moving parts that generate heat or noise during continuous operation.
What piping tools and fittings are needed to sweat this 1 in valve into copper lines?
You need a propane or MAPP torch, lead-free solder, flux, emery cloth and two 1 in copper sweat couplings or straight pipe ends prepared for soldering.
Will the full-port chrome-plated ball restrict flow in an older 1 in copper system?
The full-port design matches the nominal 1 in bore so it adds no measurable restriction compared with the existing copper piping.
