1/2" Brass Ball Valve for Air Oil Steam Water

This 1/2-inch FNPT brass ball valve handles air, oil, steam and water in residential and light-commercial plumbing. The straight two-piece body uses a full-port chrome-plated brass ball rated for 600 psi operating pressure and 150 psi steam pressure. It carries a vacuum service rating of 29.9 in Hg and is not 3-A compliant. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Installation and Common Issues

The valve threads onto standard 1/2-inch FNPT connections using common pipe-sealing methods. Its non-locking handle provides manual two-way control without special tools. Installers should verify that system pressure stays within the 600 psi limit and that steam pressure does not exceed 150 psi. Over-tightening can damage the brass threads and the two-piece body joint.

Suitable Uses and Limitations

This valve suits plumbers and maintenance crews needing a full-port brass shut-off for water, oil, air or low-pressure steam lines. It is not intended for combustible gas service, high-purity sanitary systems requiring 3-A compliance, or applications that demand a locking handle for safety lockout. Buyers needing gas-rated or lockable valves should select a different model.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the valve is operating correctly after installation?

Pressurise the line up to 600 psi for air, oil or water, or 150 psi for steam, then cycle the handle fully open and closed while checking for leaks at the 1/2 in FNPT joints and confirming full shut-off.

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The package contains the two-piece brass ball valve with chrome-plated brass ball and non-locking handle; you must provide 1/2 in FNPT fittings, pipe thread sealant and any required piping.

Which valve version should I select for my pressure requirements?

Choose this model when your system operates at or below 600 psi for air, oil or water, or 150 psi for steam, and requires a full-port 1/2 in straight-pattern valve.
