Product Identity
The Milwaukee Valve UPBA485B is a 1 1/2 inch sweat brass ball valve designed for inline water service. It serves plumbers and facility managers who need a manual two-way shut-off with a full-port opening. The chrome-plated brass ball and locking lever handle provide reliable operation in residential and commercial piping systems.
Installation Requirements
Verify that the piping system uses 1 1/2 inch copper tubing prepared for sweat connections before ordering. The valve body is a straight two-piece brass construction rated for 600 psi maximum operating pressure and a vacuum service rating of 29.92 in Hg. It is not rated for steam or combustible gas applications, so confirm the intended media is water only.
Suitability
This valve suits installers who require a full-port, locking-handle ball valve for water lines at the stated pressure and vacuum limits. It does not meet 3-A sanitary standards, so buyers needing dairy or food-grade compliance should look elsewhere. The lack of steam and combustible gas ratings also excludes it from those service types.

Questions about this item
Does the Milwaukee Valve UPBA485B valve come with copper pipe and solder, or must they be purchased separately?
The valve body is sweat-ready brass; copper tubing, flux and solder are not included and must be sourced separately.
Should I choose the 600 psi full-port model or a reduced-port alternative for a 1 1/2 in line?
The full-port design matches the pipe bore, so flow restriction is minimal at the rated 600 psi working pressure.
Will the 600 psi rating hold on a residential hot-water circuit once the valve is sweated in?
Yes, the 600 psi cold-working pressure and 29.92 in Hg vacuum rating apply after proper sweat installation.
