Bk 110-223HC Brass Quarter Turn Ball Valve 1/2 in

Product Description

The BK 110-223HC is a 1/2-inch brass quarter-turn ball valve designed for gas service applications. It features a 2-piece body construction with a chrome-plated brass ball and FIP x FIP threaded connections that comply with ANSI B1.20.1. The lever handle delivers a positive on/off shutoff in a single 90-degree turn, making it a fast and reliable isolation valve. Rated to 200 psi, it operates across a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 300 degrees F. The coated aluminum handle resists corrosion and solvent exposure. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this valve in residential and light commercial piping systems.

This valve is suited for natural gas and propane distribution lines in residential and light commercial settings. Its multi-directional flow design allows flexible installation orientation, and the FIP x FIP thread pattern fits standard iron pipe connections. Typical install locations include gas meter outlets, appliance shutoffs, and branch line isolation points. The valve carries CSA-ANSI Z21.15 (1/2 PSIG), ANSI/ASME B16.44 (5G), and UL listings, making it appropriate for inspected installations where code compliance is required.
