The Standard Brass Ball Valve is a rugged, cost-effective solution for controlling water flow in agricultural and landscape irrigation systems. Constructed from forged brass, this valve offers superior resistance to mechanical shock and temperature fluctuations compared to plastic alternatives. It is an essential component for isolating mainline sections, pumps, or irrigation filters for maintenance.
Featuring a classic quarter-turn lever handle, this valve provides immediate on/off control. While primarily designed for general irrigation fittings and non-potable water applications, its heavy-duty build ensures years of leak-free performance in harsh outdoor environments.
Durable specs for demanding applications.

Install securely using threaded connections.
Step 1: Prep Threads
Ensure the male threads (MPT) of your pipe or nipple are clean. Apply Thread Seal Tape (Teflon tape) 3-4 times clockwise.
Step 2: Connect
Thread the pipe into the valve's Female Pipe Thread (FPT) socket. Hand-tighten to ensure it is not cross-threaded.
Step 3: Tighten with Wrench
Use a wrench to tighten the connection further. Ensure the handle is positioned where you can easily operate it (clear of walls or other pipes).
Step 4: Verify Operation
Rotate the handle. Parallel to the pipe means OPEN; perpendicular means CLOSED.
Verify your connection:
