Brass ball valve for fluid control

This quarter-turn valve uses a chrome-plated brass ball inside a two-piece brass body to start or stop flow in air, oil, steam or water lines. The full-port design keeps the bore open for unrestricted passage and reduced pressure drop. It is suited for maintenance staff and system installers who need reliable on-off control in general-purpose piping.

Pressure and vacuum ratings for normal use

The valve handles up to 600 psi operating pressure and 150 psi steam pressure in routine service. A vacuum rating of 29 in Hg allows use in suction lines without leakage. The non-locking handle provides quick manual operation while the two-piece construction keeps internal turbulence low during steady flow.

Inline connections simplify piping layout

Threaded 1/4 inch FNPT inlet and MNPT outlet let the valve join existing pipework without extra adapters or unions. The straight body style fits tight runs and leaves room for insulation or brackets around the handle. No external power or actuation is required so the valve frees up electrical capacity for other equipment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/4" FNPT x MNPT brass ball valve without damaging the threads?

Wrap PTFE tape clockwise on the male threads only, thread the valve hand-tight, then finish with a wrench on the hex flats — never force the handle or use pipe dope on the female end.

Which part will need replacement first after years of steam service at 150 psi?

The chrome-plated brass ball and PTFE seats wear fastest under repeated steam cycles; plan to swap the complete two-piece valve body when leakage appears at the stem or port.

What pressure limit is reached first during a long hydrostatic test?

The 600 psi operating-pressure rating is the ceiling for water and oil; steam service must stay at or below 150 psi, and vacuum must not exceed 29 in Hg.
