Brass Filter Ball Valve 1/4 in MNPT

The SPEEDAIRE 13X540 is a brass filter ball valve designed for plumbing and fluid-control systems. It features a single inlet with a 1/2 in male NPT connection and a 1/4 in male NPT drain port. The lever handle is made from ABS for manual operation. This component suits installers who need a compact shut-off and filtration point in a new or existing line.

Upgrade from basic shut-off valves

This valve replaces a standard ball valve when the system also requires an integrated filter screen and a dedicated drain port. The jump is worth it when debris protection and periodic draining are needed at the same location. Its PTFE seals and NBR seat are rated for a maximum pressure of 725 psi, supporting demanding water or air lines. The angled body eases installation in tight pipe runs.

Suits residential and light-commercial plumbing

The unit fits projects that specify brass construction, NPT threads and a lever handle. It is not intended for applications that require a larger drain port, a different handle material or a straight-body configuration. Buyers needing a valve without a filter function or with a female-threaded inlet should look at a different product type. The item carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

What pipe thread size does the 1/4 in NPT drain port require for fitting?

The drain port uses a 1/4 in male NPT thread, so a matching 1/4 in female NPT fitting is needed for a sealed connection.

Which step is often missed when installing the lever handle on the brass valve body?

The lever handle presses onto the valve stem; the common error is not seating it fully so the handle points off-axis when the valve is closed.

When should the PTFE seal and NBR seat be inspected or replaced?

Inspect the PTFE seal and NBR seat whenever the valve is cycled near its 725 psi rating or if leakage appears at the inlet or drain ports.
