Bmi 9654 Quarter-turn Stop Valve 1/2 in Press X 3/8 in Od

Product Description

The BMI 9654 is a quarter-turn stop valve designed for supply line shutoff applications in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It features a 1/2 inch press inlet connection and a 3/8 inch OD compression outlet in a straight configuration, finished in chrome plating for a clean appearance under sinks and at fixture connections. The lead-free construction meets current potable water standards. Licensed plumbers install this valve as a final shutoff point at lavatories, faucets, toilets, and similar fixtures where a compact, reliable quarter-turn operation is required.

This valve is suited for under-sink and in-wall stub-out applications where a press-fit inlet simplifies the connection to copper supply piping. The straight body orientation directs flow without redirection, keeping the installation compact. The 1/4-turn ball-style operation provides positive open and close positions with minimal handle travel, making it practical in tight cabinet spaces typical of residential bathroom and kitchen rough-in work.

Key Features

• Quarter-turn operation for fast, positive shutoff
• 1/2 inch press inlet connection for tool-free joining to copper pipe
• 3/8 inch OD compression outlet for standard supply line connections
• Straight body configuration for direct in-line installation
• Chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• Lead-free construction compliant with potable water requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation stop valve for residential plumbing systems requiring a 1/2 inch press inlet and 3/8 inch OD compression outlet straight configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before installing or replacing this valve. The press-fit inlet requires a compatible press tool and jaw set rated for the pipe size and material. Verify the compression outlet nut and ferrule are properly seated before restoring water pressure and checking for leaks.
