Brass Ball Valve for Water Lines
The Milwaukee Valve UPBA485B is a manual two-way ball valve built from brass with a chrome-plated brass ball. Its full-port design matches the 2-inch nominal pipe size for unrestricted water flow. A locking lever handle prevents accidental operation. This component suits plumbers and facility managers installing or servicing potable-water systems.
Pressure Performance at 600 psi
The valve carries a maximum operating pressure rating of 600 psi for water service. Brass construction and a two-piece body maintain structural integrity under sustained line pressure. The vacuum service rating reaches 29.92 in Hg, confirming reliable sealing when negative pressure occurs. Steam and combustible-gas duties are not rated, so the valve should remain on water applications only.
Verify Sweat Connections and Local Codes
Confirm that your piping uses 2-inch copper tubing suitable for sweat soldering before ordering. The straight inline body requires adequate access for torch work during installation. Check regional plumbing codes for any restrictions on brass ball valves in potable-water systems. No 3-A sanitary rating applies, so the valve is not intended for food or pharmaceutical processing.

Questions about this item
Does the 600 psi pressure rating cause any vibration or noise when water flows through the valve all day?
The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi with water as the media. It uses a full-port, chrome-plated brass ball and a two-piece brass body, which generally provides smooth flow with minimal turbulence or noise under normal conditions.
What pipe size and fitting type must I already have to install this 2 inch sweat valve?
This valve requires a 2 inch nominal copper pipe and sweat (solder) connections on both ends for inline installation. You will need soldering tools, flux, and compatible copper fittings to complete the joint.
Will the chrome-plated brass ball and brass body resist corrosion if I keep my older copper piping?
Yes, the brass body and chrome-plated brass ball are compatible with standard copper plumbing systems. The full-port design matches the 2 inch pipe inner diameter, ensuring no flow restriction when connected to existing copper lines.
