Quarter-Turn Bronze Valve for Water Lines

The Nibco T5857066HC is a manual two-way ball valve designed for water service in residential or light-commercial plumbing. Its full-port stainless-steel ball and bronze body provide a straight-through flow path with a 600 psi operating pressure rating. The lever handle gives clear visual confirmation of open or closed position.

Full-Port Bronze Body with FNPT and Hose Cap

A two-piece bronze body carries a 1/2 in. female NPT inlet and a hose-cap outlet, allowing direct connection to standard pipe threads and garden-hose fittings without extra adapters. The stainless-steel ball resists corrosion from treated water, while the lever handle operates smoothly through a quarter turn. Rated for 600 psi steam as well as cold water.

Verify Thread Size and Media Compatibility

Confirm that the existing piping uses 1/2 in. NPT threads so the valve seats without leaks. The valve is rated for water and steam only; it carries no rating for combustible gas or vacuum service. Ensure system pressure never exceeds 600 psi and that local codes permit bronze ball valves for the intended application.

Questions about this item

What pressure does the 1/2 in FNPT connection handle in practice?

The valve is rated for 600 psi operating pressure and 600 psi steam pressure, so the connection will hold up to those limits.

What pipe size and thread type does the valve need to mount on?

It requires a 1/2 in. female NPT threaded pipe end for a straight inline installation.

How is the lever handle oriented during installation, and what step is often missed?

Install the valve with the lever in line for open and perpendicular for closed; the step often missed is tightening the hose cap after the valve body is secured.
