Brass Filter Ball Valve 1/2 in NPT

The SPEEDAIRE 13X542 is a brass filter ball valve with male NPT threads on both the inlet and drain ports sized at 1/2 inch. It uses a lever handle made from ABS and internal seals of PTFE with an NBR seat. This component suits plumbing installations that require a shut-off valve with integrated filtration.

Pressure rating and chemical notice

The valve carries a maximum pressure rating of 725 psi, which sets the practical limit for the system it is installed in. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Installers must verify that the operating pressure stays below this rating and that local regulations permit the material.

Replaces plain ball valves without filtration

This unit upgrades a standard ball valve by adding a filter function in the same 1/2 inch NPT footprint, useful when debris protection is needed downstream. The jump is worth it when the circuit previously relied on a separate strainer or had no particle protection at all. It does not suit systems that require a different thread size, a higher pressure class, or a handle material other than ABS.

Questions about this item

What does the 1/2 in NPT connection mean for installation?

The valve has male NPT threads on both inlet and drain ports sized at 1/2 inch, so it threads directly into matching female NPT fittings without adapters.

How does the 725 psi pressure rating apply in a typical plumbing system?

The brass body and PTFE seals are rated to 725 psi, well above standard residential supply pressures, giving a wide safety margin for water or compatible fluid lines.

Which handle material and style does this model use?

It uses an ABS lever handle that operates the ball valve with a quarter turn for quick on-off control.
