Construction Details
The 3/4" Lead-Free Curb Stop Ball Valve is manufactured with a lead-free cast bronze body for durability and use in compatible potable-water service installations.
A PTFE-coated lead-free cast bronze ball provides smooth quarter-turn operation, while the NBR seat provides sealing around the ball. The valve also uses a lead-free cast bronze stem and an enclosed operating head.
The full-port design helps maintain flow capacity through the valve, while the CTS x CTS configuration provides compatible connections at both ends of the valve.
CTS to CTS Connection
CTS Connection - End 1
The first end is designed for connection to compatible 3/4" Copper Tube Size (CTS) tubing used in water-service installations.
CTS Connection - End 2
The opposite end also uses a 3/4" CTS connection, creating a straight CTS-to-CTS valve configuration.
How the Curb Stop Ball Valve Works
Open Position
When the opening through the internal ball is aligned with the valve body, water can flow through the full-port passage.
Closed Position
Quarter-turn operation rotates the ball approximately 90 degrees so the solid portion of the ball blocks the flow path and isolates the water line.
Lead-Free Bronze Construction
Lead-free cast bronze construction makes this curb stop suitable for compatible potable-water service installations where lead-free components are required.
The bronze body, ball, and stem provide a durable valve assembly for underground water-service applications when installed according to applicable system and local code requirements.
Full-Port Ball Valve Design
The full-port configuration provides a large internal flow passage through the valve when it is in the open position.
This design helps minimize unnecessary flow restriction while still providing positive quarter-turn shutoff when service isolation is required.

Selecting the Correct Curb Stop Ball Valve
| Selection Point | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Nominal Size | This valve has a 3/4" nominal size. |
| Connection Type | Confirm CTS x CTS connections are required for the installation. |
| Pressure | Maximum pressure rating is 300 PSI CWP. |
| Temperature | Maximum temperature rating is 100°F. |
| Application | Confirm compatibility with the intended potable-water or water-service installation. |
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the installation requires a 3/4" CTS x CTS curb stop valve.
- Verify the tubing and connection dimensions before installation.
- Do not exceed the 300 PSI CWP pressure rating or 100°F maximum temperature rating.
- Install so the operating head remains accessible for service and shutoff operation.
- Verify applicable potable-water, plumbing-code, utility, and local installation requirements before use.
Our pipe, valve, and water-service product specialists can help review your CTS tubing size, curb stop connection, pressure requirements, and water-service application before you order.
