Barry E Walter Sr Company 408031 Compression Valve

Product Description

The BARRY E WALTER SR COMPANY 408031 is a harden hot compression valve designed for use in plumbing and fluid control applications. Compression valves of this type provide reliable shut-off and flow control by using a compressible seal mechanism to stop fluid passage when closed. This valve is suited for hot-side service, meaning it is rated to handle elevated fluid temperatures commonly encountered in domestic hot water and hydronic heating lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of valve in both new construction and retrofit service work.

This compression valve is typically installed on hot water supply lines where a durable, service-proven shut-off point is required. It is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where accessible isolation valves are needed for fixture or appliance service. The harden construction indicates a hardened internal seat or body component, contributing to long-term performance under repeated operation and thermal cycling conditions.

Key Features

• Hot-side rated compression valve for elevated-temperature fluid service
• Hardened valve construction for durability under repeated use and thermal cycling
• Compression-style sealing mechanism provides positive shut-off
• Suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install compression valve for hot water plumbing supply and hydronic system isolation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing valve or fittings. Ensure mating pipe ends are clean, deburred, and properly prepared before seating the compression fitting. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
