Milwaukee Valve

Milwaukee Valve BA-485BMS 2" Sweat Brass Ball Valve

SKU CH-ZN5X-W6317

Two-way brass ball valve with full-port chrome-plated ball handles combustible gases and water at 600 psi

  • Full-port design maintains unrestricted flow
  • Chrome-plated brass ball resists corrosion and wear
  • 600 psi pressure rating handles demanding applications
  • Locking handle prevents accidental operation
  • Vacuum rated to 29.92 in Hg for negative-pressure systems

Plumbing Valve for Combustible Gas and Water Lines

This two-piece brass ball valve handles combustible gases and water at up to 600 psi operating pressure. The full-port design maintains flow without restriction through the straight body. A chrome-plated brass ball resists corrosion across the 29.92 in Hg vacuum rating. The manual lever includes a locking mechanism for secure position control.

Locking Handle and Full-Port Flow

The integrated locking handle prevents accidental actuation during maintenance or vibration. Full-port construction matches the pipe inner diameter to reduce pressure drop across the valve. Two-piece body assembly allows straightforward thread engagement on sweat connections. No additional actuators or automation components are included in the package.

Sweat Installation on Copper Pipe

Sweat ends require copper pipe preparation, flux, and solder for a permanent joint. Overheating the brass body can damage the ball seats or handle mechanism. The locking handle must be disengaged before soldering to avoid binding. No thread sealant or tape is used on sweat connections.

Questions about this item

Does the chrome-plated brass ball or the brass body need periodic replacement under normal water service?

The valve uses a chrome-plated brass ball and a brass body with no scheduled replacement interval; routine inspection of the packing and seats is the only ongoing maintenance.

Will the 600 psi pressure rating limit how long the valve can stay open on a high-pressure water main?

The 600 psi maximum operating pressure is a structural limit, not a time limit; the valve can remain open continuously as long as system pressure stays at or below that rating.

Does the valve generate noticeable heat or noise when left fully open all day on a 2-inch line?

A full-port ball valve has no moving parts while open, so it produces no mechanical noise and adds negligible heat to the fluid stream.
