Brass Ball Valve 3/8" FNPT

This inline brass ball valve uses a one-piece body with FNPT connections on both ends. It is suited to residential and light-commercial plumbing where a compact shut-off is required. The standard port design maintains flow while keeping the fitting short.

Build and Connections

The valve body is brass with a chrome-plated brass ball and PTFE seats rated for 450 psi CWP. A blowout-proof stem and nylon handle with wedge, tee and lever options provide secure operation across a temperature range of -40 to 350 degrees F. FNPT threads allow direct installation onto male pipe ends without additional adapters.

Replacement and Upgrade Context

This valve replaces worn gate valves or older quarter-turn units that leak at the stem. The one-piece construction eliminates a potential leak path found in two-piece bodies. It is not for applications requiring full-port flow or actuation beyond manual handle operation.

Questions about this item

What does the 450 psi CWP rating mean for water, oil or gas lines?

The 450 psi cold working pressure is the maximum continuous pressure the brass body and PTFE seats can handle at room temperature; above that the valve may leak or deform.

What pipe threads and clearance does this 3/8-inch FNPT inline valve need?

It requires female National Pipe Taper threads on both ends and enough straight pipe run to accommodate the one-piece body length plus handle swing radius.

How is the valve installed and which step is most often missed?

Apply thread sealant to the male pipe threads, tighten the valve onto both ends, then verify the blowout-proof stem turns freely through the full quarter-turn.
