1" Lead-Free Full Port Brass Ball Valve (Threaded NPT)

Product Overview

The 1" Lead-Free Full Port Brass Ball Valve (Threaded NPT) is a premium-grade shut-off valve designed for maximum reliability and flow efficiency. Featuring a heavy-duty lead-free brass body and full port opening, this valve minimizes pressure drop and supports unrestricted flow for residential, commercial, and industrial systems. Each valve is engineered for durability with a chrome-plated brass ball and reinforced stem design, making it ideal for demanding applications where safety and performance are critical.

This lead-free brass ball valve meets NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 standards for potable water applications, ensuring compliance with U.S. federal and state lead-free regulations. The NPT threaded ends provide secure, leak-free connections that work seamlessly with plumbing systems, water distribution lines, and HVAC systems.

Why Choose a Full Port Ball Valve?

A full port ball valve provides the same internal diameter as the pipe it connects to, eliminating bottlenecks and reducing flow restrictions. This design is ideal for systems where flow efficiency matters, such as high-demand plumbing and irrigation lines.

Certifications & Compliance

• NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified – safe for use in potable water systems
• Meets U.S. federal and state lead-free laws
• Manufactured with industry-standard NPT threaded ends
• UL and CSA approvals on select models for safety assurance

Installation & Maintenance

Install the 1" Lead-Free Full Port Brass Ball Valve in-line using standard female NPT threaded fittings. Ensure threads are clean and use an appropriate pipe sealant or PTFE tape for a leak-free joint. The valve requires minimal maintenance; simply operate the lever periodically to ensure smooth action.
