Anvil 4351012160 Steam Service Ball Valve 1/2 in Fnpt

Product Description

The ANVIL 4351012160 is a 1-piece stainless steel manual ball valve engineered for steam service applications. The body is constructed from 316 stainless steel, and the valve features a graphoil seal material rated for the elevated temperatures and pressures common in steam systems. The standard port design delivers reliable flow control, while the locking lever handle prevents unintended operation during service. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on steam distribution, condensate return, and similar high-temperature piping systems.

This valve is suited for residential and commercial steam service piping where a durable, corrosion-resistant shutoff is required. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow straightforward threaded installation into 1/2 inch iron or steel pipe systems. The locking lever handle is particularly useful in mechanical rooms and boiler rooms where valve position must be secured between service intervals. The Nova seat material supports reliable sealing performance under steam service conditions.
