Calefactio bd100p Ball Valve High-flow Drain 1 in Brass

Product Description

The CALEFACTIO bd100p is a full-port brass ball valve with an integrated high-flow drain, designed for hydronic and plumbing systems where flow control and routine maintenance access are both required in a single fitting. The valve features a PTFE seat and EPDM O-ring for reliable, low-friction sealing, and carries a 250 CWP pressure rating. The reversible handle allows installation flexibility in tight spaces. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers and hydronic technicians on residential and light commercial systems.

The bd100p is suited for closed-loop hydronic heating systems, potable water distribution, and general plumbing applications where a 1-inch press connection is specified. The integrated high-flow drain eliminates the need for a separate drain valve at service points, reducing fitting count and simplifying future maintenance access. The full-port design maintains unrestricted flow through the valve body, which is critical in systems where pressure drop must be minimized.

Key Features

• Full-port design maintains unrestricted flow and minimizes pressure drop
• Integrated high-flow drain enables system servicing without additional drain fittings
• PTFE seat provides low-friction, durable sealing performance
• EPDM O-ring seal is compatible with hydronic and potable water service
• Reversible handle accommodates installation in confined or awkward spaces
• 250 CWP pressure rating suits residential and light commercial system pressures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 1-inch press connection hydronic and plumbing systems requiring integrated drain capability.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or hydronic technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM press-fitting standards. Depressurize and drain the system section before removing or installing the valve. Verify press tool jaw size matches the fitting specification before making connections. Do not apply heat sources near EPDM or PTFE sealing components during adjacent soldering work.
