Spears 3622R-015 1-1/2" PVC Ball Valve Socket x Socket

Spears 3622R-015 PVC Ball Valve

This Spears 3622R-015 is a 1-1/2 inch PVC ball valve with socket-to-socket connections. The inline three-piece body uses PVC for the body ball and stem. EPDM seats and body seals handle the sealing duties. A polypropylene tee handle operates the Safe-T-Shear stem design. The full-port layout matches the pipe bore.

Plumbers needing 235 psi CWP rating

The valve suits residential and light-commercial lines running between 40 and 140 degrees F. It fits schedules requiring a true full-port path and EPDM chemical compatibility. Installers who need threaded or flanged ends should look elsewhere. Systems demanding higher pressure or temperature ratings fall outside the published limits.

Simple solvent-weld installation

Socket ends accept standard PVC pipe with primer and cement for a permanent joint. The three-piece body allows the centre section to be removed for seat inspection without cutting the line. Over-tightening the union nuts can distort the seals. Debris left in the pipe bore during assembly is the most common cause of leakage.
