B38;K Llc 107-402NL 3/8 Inch Brass Full Port Ball Valve

Product Description

The B38;K LLC 107-402NL is a full port ball valve designed for use in plumbing, HVAC, and general piping systems where a reliable, low-restriction shutoff is required. Constructed from forged brass and certified lead free, this valve meets the demands of potable water and hydronic applications. It is rated at 600 psi non-shock WOG and 150 psi WSP steam, with an operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 300 degrees F. The 3/8 inch female pipe thread connections comply with ANSI B1.20.1, making installation straightforward for licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working on residential or light commercial systems.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial installations involving water supply lines, gas distribution where approved, hydronic heating loops, and general fluid control applications. The full port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, which is important in systems where flow rate and head loss are critical to system performance. Its compact forged brass body holds up in tight mechanical spaces common in boiler rooms, utility chases, and equipment closets.
