3/8 Inch Nickel-Plated Brass Ball Valve

This quarter-turn valve connects a 3/8 inch female NPT thread to a male NPT thread for inline shut-off of air, steam or water. The nickel-plated brass body and chrome-plated brass ball resist corrosion in general plumbing and light industrial lines. It is intended for installers who need a compact, full-port valve with a straight body style.

Installation Uses Standard Pipe Threads

Apply thread sealant to the male NPT end and tighten with a wrench on the hexagonal flats; the female end accepts a matching 3/8 inch male fitting. The two-piece body cannot be disassembled for cleaning, so flush the line before final assembly. Over-tightening can distort the seats and cause leakage at the stem packing.

Rated for 900 PSI Working Pressure

The valve handles up to 900 psi for air or water and 150 psi for saturated steam, with a vacuum rating of 29 in Hg. These pressure limits determine whether the valve suits the intended system; verify your line pressure against the ratings before purchase.
