Aqualine BBV-100-LF Brass Full-port Ball Valve 1 Inch

Product Description

The AQUALINE BBV-100-LF is a 1-inch full-port brass ball valve designed for reliable flow control in potable water and general plumbing systems. Built to lead-free standards, it meets regulatory requirements for drinking water applications. The full-port design maintains a bore diameter equal to the pipe diameter, minimizing pressure drop across the valve. Threaded end connections allow for straightforward installation into standard NPT-threaded piping systems. This valve is suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial projects.

This ball valve is commonly installed in water supply lines, isolation service points, and shutoff applications where a full, unobstructed flow path is required. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for use in potable water systems subject to state and federal lead content regulations, including NSF 61 and NSF 372 compliance requirements for drinking water components. The 1-inch threaded connection fits standard pipe configurations found in residential and small commercial plumbing installations.

Key Features

• Full-port design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop
• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• 1-inch threaded (NPT) end connections for standard pipe compatibility
• Quarter-turn operation allows fast open and close actuation
• Suitable for isolation and shutoff service in water supply systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch NPT threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial potable water applications.

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 tape or compound to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus a controlled number of turns — do not overtighten brass fittings, as this can crack the body. Verify the valve is in the closed position before restoring system pressure and inspect for leaks at startup.
