The High-Quality Stainless Steel Faucet Ball Valve is a durable, user-friendly flow control solution designed for residential and commercial water systems, combining corrosion resistance with easy operation. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this valve features a quarter-turn handle, female NPT threads, and a compact design, making it ideal for sink, shower, and hose bib applications.
Corrosion-Resistant Design:
304 stainless steel body and ball (ASTM A312) resist rust and mineral buildup in hard water, with a passivated surface extending service life by 50% compared to brass valves.
PTFE seat provides bubble-tight shutoff (ANSI/AWWA C580) and low torque operation (≤5 N·m), suitable for daily use in households and commercial buildings.
User-Friendly Operation:
Quarter-turn handle with clear position indicator (open/closed), enabling quick on/off control and compatible with lockout devices for safety.
Female NPT threads (1/2" or 3/4") compliant with ANSI B1.20.1, connecting directly to standard plumbing fixtures without adapters.
Durable Construction:
Reinforced stem with double O-ring seals prevents leakage around the handle, rated for 500,000 cycle life in residential applications.
Temperature range: 0°C to 90°C (PTFE seat), suitable for hot and cold water systems, with optional heat-resistant seals for solar water heaters (up to 120°C).
Compliance & Certification:
Meet NSF/ANSI 61 (potable water) and CSA B125.3 standards, with lead-free construction (≤0.25% lead) compliant with Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
Ideal for residential and light commercial water systems:
Residential Plumbing: Sink valves, shower shutoffs, and hose bibs in homes, with 304 stainless steel resisting corrosion from chlorinated tap water.
Commercial Buildings: Restroom faucets, kitchen sinks, and utility connections in offices and hotels, ensuring long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
RV & Marine: Compact valves for onboard water systems in recreational vehicles and boats, enduring vibration and saltwater exposure (316 stainless steel variant available).
Light Industrial: Low-pressure water and air lines in small workshops and labs, with NPT threads compatible with standard industrial fittings.
Q: Can this valve be used with hot water?
A: Yes, rated for up to 90°C; for higher temperatures (e.g., solar water), choose a valve with RPTFE seals (up to 150°C).
Q: How to replace the handle or seat?
A: Unscrew the handle nut and stem, replace worn parts with manufacturer-provided kits; no special tools required for basic maintenance.
Q: Is the valve suitable for underground installation?
A: Yes, but install in a frost-proof valve box to protect from freezing and soil pressure, especially in cold climates.
Q: What is the difference between this valve and a gate valve?
A: Ball valves offer faster on/off (90° turn) and better flow control, while gate valves are better for fully open/closed positions in high-flow systems.
