A.y. Mcdonald 5420-472 Ball Valve 2 Inches Fpt Lead Free

Product Description

The A.Y. McDonald 5420-472 is a 2-inch full port ball valve designed for water distribution, plumbing supply lines, and related fluid control applications. Built to lead-free standards, it is suitable for potable water systems where compliance with lead-free material requirements is mandatory. The full port design provides an unobstructed flow path that matches the inside diameter of the connecting pipe, minimizing pressure drop across the valve. Female pipe thread connections on both ends allow for straightforward installation using standard threaded fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of valve.

This valve is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a reliable shutoff or isolation point is needed on a 2-inch threaded water line. Typical applications include main line shutoffs, branch line isolation, and service connections in domestic water systems. The lead-free construction meets compliance requirements for potable water contact in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free plumbing standards.

Key Features

• Full port design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop
• 2-inch FPT connections on both ends for threaded pipe installation

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage valve body threads.
