Description
Aluminum Body Valve for PPS Piping Systems
PPS1 RSI AL Aluminum Body Valves provide shutoff and isolation control within compatible PPS piping networks. The family includes several connection configurations, allowing the valve to be integrated between standard PPS pipe connections, CC compact connections, or a combination of the two.
Available for 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" PPS pipe OD, the connection configuration varies by part-number series. Select by both pipe diameter and required connection style.

Understanding the Connection Configurations
Pipe x Pipe
RSIAL configurations provide standard PPS pipe connections on both sides of the valve. These versions are available for 2", 2-1/2", and 3" pipe OD.
Pipe x CC
RSICAL configurations combine a standard PPS pipe connection on one side with a PPS CC compact connection on the opposite side. These versions are available for 2", 2-1/2", and 3" pipe OD.
CC x CC
RSICCAL configurations use PPS CC compact connections on both sides of the valve. These versions are available for 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" pipe OD.
Why the Connection Type Matters
Several PPS1 RSI AL valves use the same nominal pipe OD but are designed with different connection arrangements. Selecting by pipe size alone can result in the wrong valve configuration.
Confirm whether the installation requires Pipe x Pipe, Pipe x CC, or CC x CC connections before ordering. The exact PPS1 part number should also be verified when replacing an existing valve.
Common Applications
Piping Isolation
- Main distribution line isolation
- Branch line shutoff
- Equipment-area isolation
- Maintenance sections
- Production piping
- System modifications
PPS Piping Networks
- Compressed air distribution
- Industrial vacuum piping
- Nitrogen distribution
- Manufacturing facilities
- Production systems
- Industrial utility piping
Selecting the Correct Valve
First select the required PPS pipe OD. Then determine which connection arrangement is required at the valve location.
- RSIAL: Pipe x Pipe
- RSICAL: Pipe x CC
- RSICCAL: CC x CC
For example, a 3" installation may use PPS1 RSIAL80, PPS1 RSICAL80, or PPS1 RSICCAL80 depending on the required connection type.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the PPS pipe outside diameter before ordering.
- Determine whether the valve requires Pipe x Pipe, Pipe x CC, or CC x CC connections.
- Verify the complete PPS1 part number when replacing an existing valve.
- Review dimensions A, B, and C for available installation space.
- Allow adequate clearance for valve operation.
- Use compatible PPS piping and connection components.
- Keep connection and sealing surfaces clean during installation.
- Provide appropriate piping support around the valve.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Test the completed connection before normal operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPS1 RSI AL valve?
PPS1 RSI AL is a family of aluminum body valves designed for compatible PPS piping systems.
What pipe sizes are available?
The manufacturer lists configurations for 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" PPS pipe OD.
Why are there multiple valves for the same pipe size?
The valves use different connection arrangements. Depending on the part number, the valve may use standard PPS pipe connections, PPS CC compact connections, or a combination of both.
What connection does PPS1 RSIAL use?
RSIAL configurations use standard PPS pipe connections on both sides of the valve.
What connection does PPS1 RSICAL use?
RSICAL configurations use a standard PPS pipe connection on one side and a PPS CC compact connection on the other.
What connection does PPS1 RSICCAL use?
RSICCAL configurations use PPS CC compact connections on both sides of the valve.
What does CC mean?
CC refers to the PPS compact connection system used on compatible larger-diameter PPS components.
How do I select the correct valve?
Match the valve to the PPS pipe OD and then select the required Pipe x Pipe, Pipe x CC, or CC x CC connection arrangement.
Are the different connection configurations interchangeable?
No. Products with the same pipe OD may use different connection arrangements and should be selected according to the components used at the installation point.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
The published maximum operating pressure is 232 PSI.
What is the operating temperature range?
The published operating temperature range is -4°F to 176°F.
Where can I review the manufacturer specifications?
The PPS1 RSI AL specification sheet is linked in the Ask Willy section directly above.
