Product Identity

The Milwaukee Valve BA-485BLL is a 3/4 inch brass ball valve designed for manual flow control in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It handles water and combustible gases with a two-piece body construction that provides a full-port opening for unrestricted flow.

Installation Notes

The valve uses sweat connections that require copper tubing and soldering skill to install correctly. Overheating the brass body during soldering can damage the internal seats, so heat must be applied carefully to the joint area only. The locking handle adds security but requires clearance to operate the lever fully.

Sustained Operation

Rated for 600 psi maximum operating pressure, the valve maintains seal integrity under continuous high-pressure water or gas service. The chrome-plated brass ball resists corrosion and mineral buildup during long-term exposure to potable water. A vacuum service rating of 29.92 in Hg confirms reliable shut-off even under negative pressure conditions.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the BA-485BLL is operating correctly after soldering it into the line?

Pressurise the system up to 600 psi and inspect every joint for leaks; the locking handle should move the full-port chrome-plated brass ball smoothly from fully open to fully closed.

What comes with the BA-485BLL and what must I supply myself?

The valve body with locking handle is included; you must provide copper pipe, flux, solder and a torch for the sweat connections, plus any pipe hangers or insulation required by your installation.

Which version of this valve should I choose for a 3/4 inch copper water line?

The BA-485BLL is a 3/4 inch full-port brass ball valve rated for 600 psi water service with a locking handle, making it the correct single version for that pipe size and pressure requirement.
