Construction & Performance
Forged Brass Construction
The forged brass body provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance for dependable service in commercial and industrial piping systems.
Full Port Flow
The full port ball design helps maximize flow through the valve while minimizing unnecessary restriction and pressure loss.
Locking Handle
The locking steel lever handle helps prevent accidental or unauthorized operation and can support applicable lockout procedures during maintenance.
Applications
Commercial & Industrial
- Industrial piping systems
- Commercial mechanical systems
- Equipment isolation
- Utility piping
- General fluid handling
Plumbing & Maintenance
- General plumbing systems
- Water lines
- Compatible oil and gas service
- Maintenance isolation points
- Applications requiring secure manual shutoff
Locking Handle Design
The locking lever handle provides standard quarter-turn valve operation while adding the ability to secure the valve against unwanted movement. This makes the valve well suited for piping systems where controlled access, maintenance isolation, or lockout procedures are required.
Our pipe, valve, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, MIP x FIP connections, full-port requirements, locking handle needs, media compatibility, and piping application before you order.
