Aqualine BBV-050S-LF 1/2 in Lead-free Brass Ball Valve

Product Description

The AQUALINE BBV-050S-LF is a 1/2-inch full-port brass ball valve designed for sweat (solder) connections in potable water and general plumbing systems. Built to lead-free standards, it meets regulatory requirements for use on drinking water lines. The full-port design allows unrestricted flow through the valve bore, minimizing pressure drop across the fitting. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this valve for isolation service on residential and light commercial water supply systems.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a reliable shutoff is needed on a 1/2-inch copper supply line. The sweat-end configuration connects directly to standard copper tubing using a torch and solder, making it a straightforward fit for new construction and retrofit work. Its lead-free brass construction satisfies requirements for potable water contact under applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Full-port ball design for unrestricted flow and minimal pressure drop
• Lead-free brass construction compliant with potable water regulations
• Sweat (solder) end connections for standard 1/2-inch copper tubing
• Quarter-turn operation for fast, positive shutoff
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shutoff valve for 1/2-inch copper sweat plumbing systems in residential and light commercial potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux all copper tube ends thoroughly before sweating the connections, and allow the joint to cool completely before pressurizing the system. Do not apply heat directly to the valve body during soldering; use a heat sink or wrap to protect internal components.
