1/2" Sweat Bronze Ball Valve
The Nibco S5857066 is a two-piece bronze ball valve designed for water supply lines in residential and light commercial plumbing. It installs with 1/2 inch sweat connections and features a stainless steel ball with a full-port design for unrestricted flow.
600 psi pressure rating and full-port flow
Rated for 600 psi operating pressure and 600 psi steam pressure, this valve handles standard municipal water pressure with significant headroom. The full-port stainless steel ball minimises pressure drop, but the valve is not rated for combustible gas or vacuum service.
Sweat connection for copper piping
The valve uses 1/2 inch sweat ends that require soldering to copper pipe, making it suitable for permanent inline installations. It cannot be used with threaded, compression or push-fit connections without separate adapters.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/2-inch sweat connection on this NIBCO bronze ball valve join directly to the copper piping already in my wall?
Yes, the valve has a 1/2-inch sweat connection on each end designed to be soldered to standard copper tube of the same nominal size.
How can I confirm the lever handle is actually opening and closing the full-port stainless-steel ball inside?
Operate the lever from fully open to fully closed; the handle moves parallel to the body when open and perpendicular when closed, giving a clear visual indication of ball position.
Does the box include solder, flux or any pipe-preparation tools, or must I supply those myself?
The valve ships as the valve body with lever handle only; solder, flux, emery cloth and any required tools are not included and must be purchased separately.
