Bsc Preferred B2071PCLF Chrome Straight Ball Valve 3/8 in

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED B2071PCLF is a chrome-plated straight shut-off valve designed for water supply lines in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It features a quarter-turn ball valve mechanism for fast, reliable flow control. The valve connects via compression fittings on both ends, making it a common choice for under-sink supply line connections. The corrosion-resistant ball and chrome-plated finish provide durability in wet environments. Wetted surfaces are manufactured to contain no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content, meeting lead-free compliance standards applicable to potable water systems.

This valve is suited for residential plumbing installations where a straight-line shut-off is required on a 3/8-inch supply line. Typical applications include faucet supplies, toilet fill valve feeds, and similar under-counter or in-wall supply connections. The compression-by-compression configuration allows installation without soldering, making it practical for service work and retrofit projects. It is sold individually and is a standard replacement or new-install fitting for licensed plumbers and qualified trades.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing this valve. Compression fittings require proper seating of the ferrule — do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or deform the compression seat. Inspect all connections for leaks after restoring water pressure.
