Anderson Metals 709101-0404 Straight Needle Valve 150 Psi

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 709101-0404 is a straight-pattern needle valve designed for precise flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. Built with a lead-free brass body and a metal brass seat, this valve meets regulatory requirements for potable water and general fluid service applications. It handles pressures up to 150 psi and operates across a wide temperature range of -45 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians use this valve where fine throttling control is needed, such as instrumentation lines, gauge isolation, and low-flow service connections. The 1/4 x 1/4 inch pipe sizing suits small-diameter piping configurations common in residential and light commercial installations.

This needle valve is suited for residential and light commercial systems where controlled flow regulation is required. Typical applications include instrument isolation, steam service, compressed air lines, hydronic heating circuits, and refrigeration-adjacent piping where a metal seat is preferred over a soft-seat design. The straight body configuration makes inline installation straightforward in tight piping runs. Its compact dimensions and low package weight of 0.11 pounds make it practical for service vehicles and job-site kits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off system pressure and bleed lines before removing or installing this valve. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the service fluid to NPT threads before assembly. Do not exceed the rated 150 psi working pressure or the 250 degrees F maximum temperature for the intended service.
