Press brass ball valve for 1-1/2 inch piping

This press-fit ball valve is built for installers who need a reliable shut-off on 1-1/2 inch copper or stainless tube. The inline, two-piece brass body uses a press-by-press connection so no threading or soldering is required on site. A full-port chrome-plated brass ball and PTFE seats deliver unrestricted flow and tight sealing in commercial or residential plumbing systems.

Thermal performance and pressure rating

The valve handles water temperatures from 40 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and a working pressure of 200 psi CWP. Brass construction and PTFE body seals resist corrosion and scale build-up during normal hot-water service. The blowout-proof brass stem prevents stem ejection under pressure surges, keeping the system sealed without extra maintenance.

Lever handle and installation impact

A steel lever handle gives a quarter-turn on-off action that is easy to operate with gloved hands. Press connections cut joint-making time compared with threaded or sweat fittings, reducing labour cost on large rough-ins. The two-piece body allows the valve to be inspected or serviced without cutting the pipe run. Buyers who need a threaded or solder-end valve for existing copper will need a different connection style.

Questions about this item

How do I press the 1-1/2" connections onto copper tube without damaging the PTFE seats?

Use a calibrated press tool with the correct 1-1/2" jaw profile, keep the valve fully open during pressing, and allow the joint to cool before cycling the lever to avoid seat distortion.

Which components will need replacement after long service in hot water up to 250 Degrees F?

The PTFE seats and body seals are the primary wear items; the chrome-plated brass ball and brass stem typically outlast multiple seat changes in this temperature range.

At what pressure does the 200 psi CWP rating become the limiting factor during sustained high-temperature operation?

The 200 psi cold working pressure applies at lower temperatures; as the fluid approaches 250 Degrees F the allowable working pressure drops below that rating, so pressure becomes the first limit under sustained heat.
