Compact Bronze Ball Valve
The Nibco T5857066 is a two-piece, full-port bronze ball valve designed for inline water service. Its 1/4-inch FNPT connections suit residential and light-commercial plumbing where a compact shut-off is required. The stainless steel ball and lever handle provide reliable manual operation. This valve is supplied new and ready for installation.
Sustained Pressure Performance
Rated for 600 psi maximum operating pressure and 600 psi steam pressure, the valve maintains a tight seal under continuous load. The full-port design minimises flow restriction, reducing pressure drop across the fitting during extended use. Two-piece bronze construction resists deformation and leakage over long service intervals. It is not rated for combustible gas or vacuum service.
Thermal And Operational Characteristics
Bronze body material handles hot water and steam within the 600 psi rating without external cooling. The lever handle allows quick quarter-turn actuation with low torque, reducing operator fatigue. No electrical power or external actuation is needed, so power draw and noise are absent. Compliance with 3-A sanitary standards is not rated for this model.

Questions about this item
Does the bronze body and stainless steel ball handle continuous water flow at 600 psi without overheating?
The valve is rated for 600 psi water and steam service; as a manual ball valve it has no motor or electronics, so it generates no heat during operation.
What pipe threads must I already have to install this 1/4 inch FNPT valve?
You need mating 1/4 inch male NPT threads on the supply lines to connect directly to the valve’s female NPT ends.
Will the full-port 1/4 inch bore match the flow of my existing 1/4 inch copper piping?
Yes, the full-port design gives an unrestricted 1/4 inch opening that matches standard 1/4 inch pipe internal diameter.
