  • Full-port design maximises water flow through 1-1/4" line
  • 600 psi rating handles high-pressure residential systems
  • Chrome-plated brass ball resists corrosion and wear
  • Locking lever handle prevents accidental operation
  • Vacuum service rated to 29.92 in Hg

Brass Full-Port Ball Valve

The Milwaukee Valve UPBA485B is a manual two-way ball valve built from brass with a chrome-plated brass ball. It provides a full-port opening for unrestricted water flow in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The lever handle includes a locking feature to secure the valve position during operation. Sweat connections allow direct copper tubing installation.

Upgrade from gate or stop valves

This valve replaces older gate or globe valves that restrict flow and wear faster under frequent cycling. The full-port design matches the pipe inner diameter, eliminating the pressure drop common with reduced-port alternatives. A switch is worth it when the system demands full flow capacity and reliable shut-off without the maintenance issues of packing glands. The 600 psi operating pressure rating supports typical municipal and well-pump pressures.

Sweat connection limits

The sweat-end configuration requires copper tubing and soldering skill, so it is not suited for push-fit or threaded pipe installations. Brass construction limits use to water service; the valve is not rated for steam or combustible gas applications. Vacuum service is rated to 29.92 in Hg, covering most residential drainage scenarios. Installers must verify local codes for sweat-joint acceptance before use.

Questions about this item

What copper pipe diameter does the 1-1/4 inch sweat connection require?

The sweat ends are sized for 1-1/4 inch nominal copper tubing; the joint is made by cleaning, fluxing, sliding the valve on and sweating with lead-free solder.

Which way should the lever handle point when the valve is fully open?

The lever aligns parallel with the pipe run when open; the locking hole lines up with the body tab so a padlock can be inserted to prevent accidental operation.

How often should the chrome-plated ball and PTFE seats be inspected for wear?

Check annually for seepage at the stem packing and ball seals; if leakage appears, replace the valve because the two-piece body is not designed for field repair.
