Connection Configuration
Hose Barb Inlet
The integral hose barb provides a direct connection point for properly sized flexible tubing or hose.
Hose Barb Outlet
The opposite end uses the same barb-style connection for simple inline installation without threaded adapters.
Quarter-Turn Handle
The compact lever handle rotates 90 degrees between the open and closed positions for quick manual shutoff.
Construction Details
The body is manufactured from forged brass for dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible fluid systems.
Integral hose barb ends simplify installation by allowing compatible hose or tubing to slide directly over the valve connections before being secured with the appropriate clamp or crimp sleeve.
The internal ball mechanism provides smooth quarter-turn operation and positive flow isolation with minimal handle movement.
