Bmi 49006 Ball Valve Gas 1 Inch Carbon Press

Product Description

The BMI 49006 is a 1-inch carbon press ball valve designed for gas service applications. It features a brass and steel construction suited to the demands of natural gas and propane distribution systems. The press-fit end connections eliminate the need for threading or soldering at the joint, speeding up installation and reducing torch work on the job. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers and gas fitters working on residential and light commercial gas piping systems.

The 49006 is used in gas piping installations where a reliable shutoff is required at appliances, meters, or branch lines. The 1-inch press connection is compatible with press-fit piping systems in residential and light commercial construction. The combination of brass body components and steel reinforcement provides durability in both indoor and embedded piping configurations where gas-rated shutoffs are required by code.

Key Features

• 1-inch carbon press end connections for tool-pressed, torch-free installation
• Brass and steel construction for gas service durability
• Full-port ball valve design for minimal flow restriction
• Rated for gas service including natural gas and propane applications
• Quarter-turn operation for fast, positive shutoff

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation ball valve for 1-inch gas piping systems using press-fit connections in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the line before pressing or servicing the valve. Use a listed press tool and the correct jaw profile for the fitting size and series. Inspect the press connection for full engagement before restoring gas pressure and leak-testing all joints with an approved detection solution.
