Two-Inch Brass Ball Valve

The Milwaukee Valve BA-485BLL is a manual two-way ball valve designed for controlling water and combustible gases in plumbing and heating systems. Its full-port, chrome-plated brass ball provides unrestricted flow through the straight two-piece body. The sweat connection method creates a permanent, leak-resistant joint when soldered to copper piping. This valve suits installers who need a durable shut-off for 2-inch lines.

Locking Handle and Sweat Ends

The two-piece brass construction resists corrosion and withstands an operating pressure of 600 psi. A locking handle prevents accidental operation and allows the valve to be secured in the open or closed position. Sweat ends require soldering tools and skill, making the installation permanent and best suited for new construction or major renovations. The brass body and chrome-plated ball tolerate the heat of the soldering process without damage.

Pressure and Vacuum Limits

The valve handles a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi and holds a vacuum rating of 29.92 in Hg, covering most residential and light commercial hydronic applications. Steam service and specific combustible gas pressures are not rated, so the valve must not be used in those systems. The lack of 3-A compliance means it is not approved for sanitary food or pharmaceutical processing. Buyers needing certified steam ratings or sanitary standards should select a different valve.

Questions about this item

What maximum operating pressure does the 600 psi rating cap in practice?

The valve is rated for 600 psi maximum operating pressure with water or combustible gases, and holds a vacuum service rating of 29.92 in Hg.

What copper tube size fits the sweat ends on this 2 in valve?

The sweat connections are sized for 2 in nominal copper tube, requiring a 2 in copper pipe end for soldering.

How is the BA-485BLL installed and what step is often missed?

Clean and flux the copper tube ends, slide the valve on, then solder each joint evenly; the step often missed is fully supporting the valve body so heat does not distort the chrome-plated brass ball or PTFE seats.
