3/8" Brass Mini Ball Valve

This nickel-plated brass mini ball valve provides inline shut-off for air, steam, and water lines. The two-piece straight body uses a chrome-plated brass ball with a standard port. It is rated for 250 psi maximum operating pressure and 150 psi for steam service. The valve connects via 3/8 inch FNPT inlet and MNPT outlet threads.

Replaces Larger Shut-Off Valves

The compact design fits tight plumbing spaces where a full-size ball valve cannot be installed. The quarter-turn handle allows quick manual operation without tools. The jump is worth it when you need reliable isolation in a confined area and the 250 psi pressure rating meets the system requirements.

Suits Residential and Light Commercial Plumbing

This valve suits installers needing a compact, manual two-way shut-off for standard fluid media. It is not rated for combustible gas service, so gas-line installers must look elsewhere. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm, which may restrict use in certain regulated environments.

Questions about this item

What pipe threads does the 3/8" FNPT x MNPT brass mini ball valve require for inline mounting?

It needs a female 3/8" NPT thread on one side and a male 3/8" NPT thread on the other for straight inline installation.

How do I install the two-piece nickel-plated brass valve, and what step is often missed?

Apply thread sealant to the male NPT end, tighten with a wrench on the valve body flats — not the handle — then check for leaks at 250 psi max working pressure.

When should the chrome-plated brass ball or PTFE seats be replaced in this standard-port valve?

Replace if the handle turns stiffly, water seeps past the closed ball, or the valve no longer holds 29.9 in Hg vacuum during service checks.
