Value Brand Manual 2-Way Ball Valve Sweat Brass

SKU CH-C538-Q78B8

A manual two-way brass ball valve for air, oil, steam and water rated to 600 psi operating pressure and 150 psi steam

  • Full-port design allows unrestricted flow
  • Brass body resists corrosion for long service life
  • Chrome-plated brass ball ensures smooth operation
  • Rated 600 psi for high-pressure water and oil systems
  • Steam rated to 150 psi for heating applications

Manual 2-Way Brass Ball Valve

This manual two-way ball valve uses a brass body with a chrome-plated brass ball for controlling air, oil, steam and water. The straight two-piece construction provides a full-port flow path and a non-locking handle for direct operation in plumbing and industrial lines. It is supplied new and ready for sweat installation onto copper tubing.

Sweat connection requires copper pipe preparation

Installation is a standard sweat joint: clean the tube ends, apply flux, slide the valve on and solder with a torch. The full-port ball reduces flow restriction but the brass body conducts heat quickly, so protect nearby seals and avoid overheating the ball seat. The non-locking handle offers no security against accidental operation.

For installers needing full-port brass shut-off

This valve suits technicians who need a 600 psi rated brass valve with 150 psi steam capacity and 29.9 in Hg vacuum rating for copper piping systems. It is not for applications requiring a locking handle, 3-A sanitary certification or combustible gas approval. Buyers who need certified sanitary fittings or gas-rated valves should look at other options.

What components are included and what must be purchased separately?

The valve body with chrome-plated brass ball and non-locking handle are supplied; sweat copper pipe, flux, solder and any required pipe fittings must be bought separately.

Which pressure-rated version should I select for my application?

Choose this model when your system runs at or below 600 psi for water, oil or air, or 150 psi for steam; it also holds a vacuum rating of 29.9 in Hg.
