AAP Brass Ball Valve, 1/4"

This AAP general purpose male x female brass ball valve has a plastic-coated stainless steel lever, a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other. It is supplied in 8 sizes from 1/4" (8mm) to 2" (50mm).

A ball valve turns a ball with a hole through it between sealing seats. When the lever or handle is in line with the pipe the hole lines up with the flow and the valve is open, and a quarter turn closes it. The handle sits in line with the port, so it shows the valve position. The body and seat retainer are nickel-plated brass, the ball is chromium-plated brass, the seat is PTFE and the stem packing is a double Viton O-ring. The male x female layout lets the valve screw directly into a female port while taking a male fitting on the other end, which saves a nipple.

Choosing the right option
