  • Compact 3-1/4 in length fits tight spaces

Purpose & Fit

The SPEEDAIRE 38XT49 is a brass filter ball valve designed for fluid-control systems that require a 3/8 in NPT drain port and a maximum pressure rating of 725 psi. It suits installers who need a compact lever-operated shut-off with an integrated filter screen in a corrosion-resistant brass body.

Thermals, Noise & Power

The valve body is machined from brass with NBR seals and a PTFE seat, materials chosen for chemical compatibility rather than thermal management. No electrical components are present, so the device generates no heat, draws no power and produces no audible noise during normal operation.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous pressurised flow up to the rated 725 psi the brass stem and PTFE seat maintain sealing integrity without the torque increase common in elastomer-only designs. The ABS lever remains operable after extended cycling, and the filter screen continues to trap debris without a measurable pressure drop across the valve.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3/8 in NPT drain port and what step is often missed?

Thread the 3/8 in NPT drain port into the matching female fitting using PTFE tape or pipe sealant on the male threads; the step often missed is tightening to a proper seal without over-torquing the brass body.

What maintenance will the NBR seals and PTFE seats need over time?

Inspect the NBR seals and PTFE seats periodically for wear, chemical degradation or debris; replace them if leakage appears or handle torque increases noticeably.

At what pressure limit should I expect the valve to show stress first during sustained use?

The valve carries a 725 psi maximum pressure rating; sustained operation near that limit will stress the brass body, stem and seals before any other factor.
