Two-and-a-half-inch brass ball valve
This two-and-a-half-inch sweat brass ball valve provides inline shut-off for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The straight-body, two-piece construction suits copper pipe installations where a permanent soldered joint is preferred. Its full-port chrome-plated brass ball allows unrestricted flow when open.
Pressure limits under continuous use
The valve handles 600 psi maximum operating pressure for water, oil and air services. Steam duty is rated at 150 psi, while vacuum service holds to 29.9 in Hg. These ratings apply to sustained conditions rather than momentary spikes, so system design should stay within the stated limits.
Brass body with sweat ends
The brass body and chrome-plated ball resist corrosion from water, oil, air and steam media. Sweat connections require soldering during installation, creating a leak-tight joint that does not rely on threaded seals. The non-locking handle operates with a quarter turn, and the two-piece body permits internal access if servicing becomes necessary.

Questions about this item
How much heat and pressure can the brass body and chrome-plated ball handle during continuous steam service?
The valve is rated for a maximum of 150 psi steam pressure and 600 psi operating pressure, with a vacuum service rating of 29.9 in Hg.
What pipe preparation and tools are required to install this sweat-style valve?
You need 2-1/2 inch copper tubing, flux, lead-free solder, a propane or MAPP torch, and pipe cleaning tools to make the sweat connections.
Will the full-port design maintain flow when paired with older 2-1/2 inch supply lines?
Yes, the full-port chrome-plated brass ball matches the nominal 2-1/2 inch size, so it will not create a restriction in existing piping.
