Aqualine BBV-150 Full Port Brass Ball Valve 1.5 in

Product Description

The AQUALINE BBV-150 is a 1.5-inch threaded full-port brass ball valve designed for shutoff and flow-control service in plumbing, HVAC, and pool or spa piping systems. The full-port design means the ball bore matches the pipe's inner diameter, minimizing pressure drop and turbulence at the valve body. Threaded end connections make installation straightforward on standard NPT pipe without the need for specialty tooling. At 2.1 pounds, the valve is solidly constructed for residential and light commercial service where a reliable manual shutoff is required.

This ball valve is suited for use on water supply lines, pool and spa equipment pads, hydronic heating loops, and similar piping systems where a full-flow manual isolation point is needed. The threaded NPT configuration fits into standard pipe runs and is commonly used during equipment installation, zone isolation, and service access. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit applications handled by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or pool and spa technicians.

Key Features

• Full-port ball bore maintains full pipe diameter flow with minimal pressure drop
• 1.5-inch threaded NPT connections for straightforward installation on standard pipe
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments
• Quarter-turn operation allows fast manual open and shutoff
• Compact, solid body at 2.1 pounds suitable for space-constrained equipment rooms and pad installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 1.5-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and pool or spa applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply completely before removing any existing valve or making new threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to male NPT threads before assembly and tighten to snug-plus-hand-tight using a pipe wrench, taking care not to overtighten and crack the valve body. Verify there are no leaks under normal system pressure before returning the system to service.
