Brass Press Ball Valve for Water Systems

This brass two-way ball valve handles water service in plumbing installations. The press connection method suits installers who prefer flame-free joints and faster assembly on compatible piping systems. It is not intended for steam, combustible gas or applications requiring 3-A sanitary compliance.

Press Installation and Leak Points

Press ends require a calibrated press tool and correctly sized jaws; an undersized or worn jaw leaves an incomplete seal that leaks under pressure. Debris on the pipe end or an off-square cut prevents full insertion, while over-press cycles can distort the brass body and damage the chrome-plated ball.

200 psi Working Pressure Rating

The valve is rated for 200 psi maximum operating pressure with water media. Systems that exceed this pressure need a different valve or a pressure-reducing station upstream. Vacuum service is rated to 29.92 in Hg, so the same limit applies to suction-side piping.
