Valve Configuration
Female NPT Inlet
The inlet accepts a compatible male NPT pipe or fitting for secure threaded installation.
Female NPT Outlet
The outlet also uses female NPT threads, creating a compact female-to-female inline connection.
Low-Profile Flag Handle
The flag handle provides positive quarter-turn operation while minimizing overall handle clearance.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from forged brass for dependable mechanical strength and long service life in compatible fluid systems.
A chrome-plated exterior finish helps improve corrosion resistance while providing a clean, durable surface.
The compact flag handle rotates 90 degrees between the open and closed positions, making the valve well suited for applications where a conventional long lever handle would require too much space.
