  • Full-port design maximises flow capacity

  • Non-locking handle allows quick manual operation

Brass ball valve for plumbing systems

This Value Brand two-piece ball valve uses a sweat connection for inline installation on 1-1/2 inch copper pipe. The chrome-plated brass ball and full-port design maintain unrestricted flow for air, oil, steam or water lines. It is built for new residential or commercial plumbing work where a reliable manual shut-off is required.

Replaces older gate or globe valves

The quarter-turn handle operates faster than multi-turn alternatives and the full-port bore eliminates the flow restriction common in reduced-port models. Upgrading is worthwhile when a leaking valve must be swapped during a re-pipe or when a service point needs positive shut-off with minimal pressure drop. The 600 psi rating covers most municipal and pumped systems.

Check pipe size and pressure needs

Verify that the existing copper line measures 1-1/2 inch nominal so the sweat joint fits correctly. Confirm the system pressure stays below 600 psi and steam pressure below 150 psi to remain within the valve limits. Ensure local code permits brass ball valves for the intended media and that the installation can accommodate a non-locking handle.

Questions about this item

What pipe size does the 1-1/2" sweat connection require?

The valve uses a 1-1/2 inch nominal sweat connection designed for copper tubing of the same nominal size. The joint is made by soldering the tube directly into the valve ends.

How is the valve installed in the line and what step is often missed?

Clean and flux the copper tube ends and valve sockets, then solder the valve inline. The step often missed is removing the handle or protecting the PTFE seats from overheating during soldering.

What maintenance or replacement will the valve need over time?

The chrome-plated brass ball and PTFE seats may wear after many cycles. If leakage appears at the stem or across the ball, the two-piece body allows the valve to be removed and replaced.
