Aqualine BBV-150S-LF Full-port Ball Valve 1-1/2in Sweat

Product Description

The AQUALINE BBV-150S-LF is a 1-1/2-inch full-port brass ball valve designed for sweat (solder) connections in plumbing and HVAC hydronic systems. The lead-free construction meets federal and state Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, making it suitable for potable water applications. A full-port design allows unrestricted flow through the valve body, minimizing pressure drop across the fitting. At 1.9 pounds, the valve is a solid, service-grade component appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where a reliable shutoff is required.

This valve is typically installed in water supply lines, hydronic heating and cooling circuits, and general plumbing distribution systems where a 1-1/2-inch copper sweat connection is called for. The sweat-end configuration is standard for copper pipe work and is commonly used in both new construction and retrofit applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of valve as an isolation point on mains, branch lines, and equipment connections.

Key Features

• Full-port bore eliminates flow restriction and minimizes pressure drop
• Lead-free brass construction complies with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for potable water use
• 1-1/2-inch sweat (solder) end connections for direct copper pipe installation
• Quarter-turn ball valve operation provides fast, positive shutoff
• Solid brass body offers corrosion resistance in wet plumbing environments

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and drain the line before cutting in or replacing any valve. Use standard sweat-soldering tools and lead-free solder and flux on all potable water connections. Allow the valve to reach ambient temperature and inspect for leaks at operating pressure before returning the system to service.
