1/2 in. Brass Press Lead Free Full Port Ball Valve with Drain

The NIBCO Press System ball valve includes a drain. The body is manufactured from lead free Brass alloy and is dezincification resistant DZR. The ball valve is designed with press-to-connect end connections with an inboard bead and EPDM O-ring for quick and easy copper to copper joinery. Properly applying pressure from a press-fit tool tightens the O-ring onto the tube, ensuring a clean, permanent, watertight seal in seconds, with no flame, solder or flux. The NIBCO Press System is user friendly, quick and easy to install. When properly crimped a unique N witness mark is clearly visible. The lead free ball valve is specifically designed for use in systems that deliver water for human consumption.
