Product Identity

The Nibco T5857066 is a manual two-way ball valve constructed from bronze with a stainless steel ball. It features a full-port design and lever handle for straight, inline flow control in plumbing systems.

Suitability

This valve suits installers needing a 600 psi rated bronze body for water service with female NPT connections. It does not meet 3-A sanitary standards and carries no rating for combustible gas or vacuum applications.

Installation Context

The valve installs directly into 3/8 inch FNPT pipework without additional adapters. Its two-piece bronze body and full-port ball maintain flow capacity while the lever handle allows quick manual operation in accessible locations.

Questions about this item

What pipe thread size must the supply lines have to connect to the 3/8" FNPT ports?

Both inlet and outlet require 3/8 inch female NPT threads, so the mating pipes or adapters must carry matching 3/8 inch male NPT threads.

Will the bronze body and stainless-steel ball withstand the 600 psi rating if the existing copper piping is rated lower?

The valve is rated for 600 psi water and steam, but the overall system pressure limit will be the lowest-rated component in the line, so verify the copper piping and fittings meet or exceed that pressure.

How can I confirm the full-port ball is aligned correctly after installation?

Turn the lever handle parallel to the pipe run; in that position the full-port opening aligns with the flow path and water should pass without restriction.
