1/2" Brass Ball Valve
This manual two-way ball valve has a brass body with a chrome-plated brass ball and full-port design. It connects via a 1/2 inch press fitting on one end and a hose cap on the other. The straight-pattern valve is rated for water service at a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi and handles vacuum up to 29.92 in Hg. It suits residential or light-commercial plumbing installations requiring inline shut-off.
Installation notes
The press connection requires a compatible press tool and jaw set sized for 1/2 inch tubing to form a leak-free joint. No threading or soldering is needed, but the tubing must be cut square, deburred and inserted to the full depth marked on the fitting. Common issues include insufficient press force, misaligned jaws or debris on the sealing surface, any of which can cause weeping or joint failure.
Pressure and media limits
The valve is rated for 200 psi maximum operating pressure with water and carries a vacuum rating of 29.92 in Hg. Steam service, combustible gas service and 3-A sanitary compliance are not rated, so the valve must not be used in those applications. The non-locking lever handle provides manual operation only; automated actuation is not supported.
