Electroplated Brass Ball Valve, DN20 by 1 2 in, 0.79 in by 0.5 in Nominal Diameter, NPT Thread

Product Characteristics Durability : Made of electroplated brass, the valve is robust, corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-term reliability in water supply scenarios. Connection Performance : NPT thread connection provides reliable leak-proof performance when properly sealed, ensuring stable water flow in plumbing systems. Easy Operation : The ergonomic lever handle allows for quick on/off control, simplifying flow regulation in home and small-scale piping systems. Versatility : Suitable for water supply in home renovation, engineering construction, and water development projects, making it ideal for residential and light commercial applications. How to Use Ensure the valve and mating pipes have compatible NPT threads. Apply thread sealant or Teflon tape to the male threads of the pipe for a secure, leak-proof connection. Screw the valve onto the pipe by hand first, then tighten with a wrench (avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage). Use the lever handle to open or close the valve: rotate 90 degrees to fully open or close the flow. Regularly inspect the valve for leaks, damage, or thread issues, and repair or replace components if necessary. Maintenance Tips Inspect the thread connection periodically to ensure it remains secure and leak-proof. Clean the valve exterior and handle to prevent debris buildup and ensure smooth operation. Test the valve’s sealing performance regularly to ensure it remains leak-proof in water supply systems.
