Bmi 9630 Quarter Turn Ball Valve 1/2 in X 1/4 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI 9630 is a lead-free, quarter-turn ball valve fitting designed for plumbing supply connections. It features a 1/2-inch expansion inlet and a 1/4-inch OD copper outlet, oriented at a 90-degree angle to route tubing in tight or angled installation scenarios. The quarter-turn design allows fast shutoff with a single 90-degree handle rotation, which reduces service time during installation or repairs. Licensed plumbers and experienced plumbing contractors are the primary installers for this type of fitting. The lead-free construction meets current regulatory requirements for potable water systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a directional change is needed between a supply line and a smaller-diameter copper outlet. The 90-degree configuration makes it appropriate for under-sink installations, refrigerator water line connections, ice maker supply lines, or similar small-bore copper tubing runs. It is installed where a standard straight fitting would not provide the necessary routing clearance.

Key Features

• Quarter-turn ball valve operation for fast, reliable shutoff
• 90-degree body angle for directional routing in confined spaces
• 1/2-inch expansion inlet connection
• 1/4-inch OD copper outlet connection
• Lead-free construction for compliance with potable water regulations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a 1/2-inch expansion to 1/4-inch OD copper transition at a 90-degree angle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning work. Ensure the expansion connection is fully seated and the copper outlet tube is properly deburred and inserted to the stop before completing the connection. Verify there are no leaks under pressure before returning the system to service.
