Valve for 1/2 in PVC lines
This NDS ball valve fits 1/2 inch FNPT threaded PVC pipe and handles water up to 150 psi CWP. The one-piece PVC body and stem resist corrosion in irrigation and pool systems. A tee handle provides simple quarter-turn operation for on-off control. It is intended for installers who need a compact, full-port shut-off valve.
Fits standard 1/2 in FNPT fittings
The valve threads directly onto male NPT nipples or adapters without special tools. Its Buna-N seats and body seal create a tight seal across a 0 to 120 degrees F temperature range. The full T port maintains flow without restricting the line. Builders who need a union end or a different handle style should choose another model.
Replaces worn gate or globe valves
Swapping an old multi-turn valve for this quarter-turn design cuts operating time and reduces the chance of stem leakage. The one-piece stem eliminates a common leak path found in two-piece designs. The upgrade is worth it when the existing valve seizes, drips at the packing or no longer shuts off cleanly.

Questions about this item
How much pressure can the 1/2 in FNPT ball valve handle continuously?
The valve is rated for 150 psi CWP, so it will hold that pressure during sustained operation without exceeding its design limit.
Will the PVC body and Buna-N seals tolerate all-day flow at the upper temperature limit?
The materials are rated from 0 to 120 Degrees F; staying within that range prevents softening or seal degradation during continuous use.
What pipe thread standard must my existing piping use to connect directly to this valve?
Both ports are 1/2 in FNPT, so your supply lines need matching 1/2 in male NPT threads for a direct fit.
