Brass inline ball valve with black handle

Value Brand

Value Brand 1PZB1 1/2" FNPT Brass Ball Valve Inline

SKU CH-E0JB-4JVDS

Controls air, oil, steam or water flow with a one-piece brass body rated to 450 psi operating pressure

  • Handles high-pressure systems up to 450 psi
  • Rated for 150 psi steam applications
  • Vacuum service rated to 29.9 in Hg
  • Chrome-plated brass ball resists corrosion
  • One-piece brass body ensures durability

Valve purpose and fit

This brass ball valve controls flow in residential and light-commercial plumbing lines carrying air, oil, steam or water. The one-piece body and standard port suit general shut-off duties where a compact inline valve is required.

Pressure limits under sustained use

Rated for 450 psi operating pressure and 150 psi steam pressure, the valve also holds a 29.9 in Hg vacuum rating for negative-pressure circuits. These limits apply to continuous service rather than momentary spikes.

Installation checks before ordering

Verify that the piping uses 1/2 inch FNPT threads and that the straight body orientation matches the run. Confirm the media temperature stays within the steam rating and that local codes accept a non-3-A compliant brass valve.

Questions about this item

Does the brass valve heat up or make noise when it handles 450 psi air or steam all day?

The valve body is brass with a chrome-plated brass ball, so it conducts heat from the media but has no moving parts that generate noise during steady flow.

What pipe thread do I need on my existing line to connect this 1/2" FNPT valve?

You need a 1/2 inch male NPT thread on the pipe or fitting that will screw into the valve's female NPT ports.

Will the 150 psi steam rating work with my older low-pressure steam radiators?

Yes, the 150 psi steam rating exceeds typical residential radiator pressures, and the butyl seat material is compatible with steam service.
