1-1/2" FNPT Brass Ball Valve

The Milwaukee Valve BA-475BMS is a manual two-way brass ball valve designed for inline flow control. It handles water and combustible gases in residential or light commercial plumbing systems. The full-port design maintains unrestricted flow through the 1-1/2 inch nominal size.

600 psi WOG rating for high-pressure lines

This valve replaces older gate or globe valves where a quarter-turn shut-off and full bore are preferred. The 600 psi water-oil-gas rating supports demanding supply lines, while the 150 psi steam rating covers low-pressure steam applications. The jump is worth it when zero-leakage sealing and quick operation outweigh the cost of a basic stop valve.

Suits installers needing locking handle security

The chrome-plated brass ball and locking handle suit technicians who require tamper-resistant isolation points. Vacuum service rated to 29.92 in Hg, it fits systems pulling deep vacuum. Builders needing 3-A sanitary compliance or a rated combustible gas pressure limit should look at other models.

Questions about this item

What thread size does the 1-1/2" FNPT inlet and outlet require for pipe fitting?

The valve uses 1-1/2 inch Female National Pipe Thread connections on both ends for direct inline installation onto matching male-threaded pipe.

How is the chrome-plated brass ball oriented during two-piece body assembly to ensure full-port flow?

The ball is inserted through the end-cap opening before the cap is threaded and sealed, aligning the full-port bore straight through the straight body for unrestricted flow.

When should the PTFE seats and stem packing be inspected or replaced given the 600 psi water and 150 psi steam ratings?

Inspect seats and packing annually or after any pressure spike; replace if leakage appears at the stem or ports, as high-pressure steam cycles accelerate wear.
