Valve Configuration
Female NPT Inlet
The inlet accepts a compatible male NPT pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.
Full-Port Ball
The full-port internal opening helps maintain system flow while minimizing restriction when the valve is fully open.
Female NPT Outlet
The opposite FIP connection continues the threaded piping run to compatible downstream components.
Construction Details
The lead-free brass body provides dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible piping systems.
The full-port ball allows a larger internal flow path when fully open, helping reduce restriction through the valve.
Female NPT threaded ends provide straightforward installation into compatible male-threaded piping systems, while the quarter-turn handle provides quick and positive shutoff.
