This NIBCO Press System vented ball valve is designed for potable water, mechanical HVAC and non-potable process water applications. This ball valve has press connections and features a new design that allows a leak to occur during testing if the press connection is not properly crimped. The two-piece ball valve body is manufactured from dezincification resistant bronze, with a stainless steel blowout-proof stem. With the full port design and vented stainless steel ball, the ball valve allows unobstructed bi-directional flow. The lever handle provides convenient quarter-turn operation and bubble-tight shut-off. This NIBCO Press System is user friendly, quick and easy to install. Simply 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. When properly crimped a unique "N" witness mark is clearly visible. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information.
