Central Brass 0331-l3/8 Straight Stop Valve 3/8 in

Product Description

The CENTRAL BRASS 0331-l3/8 is a self-closing straight stop valve designed for controlled water shutoff in commercial and institutional plumbing systems. Built from solid cast brass with a corrosion-resistant chrome finish, this valve automatically returns to the closed position after each use, limiting water flow and reducing waste. At 3/8 inches with NPT connections, it fits standard supply lines in restroom and kitchen fixture installations. Licensed plumbers and commercial service technicians are the primary installers for this type of valve.

This valve is suited for high-traffic environments where tamper resistance and water conservation are operational priorities. Typical applications include public restrooms, commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, and institutional buildings. The self-closing mechanism limits unattended water flow, making it a practical choice wherever vandalism, waste, or code compliance around water conservation are concerns. The chrome plating provides a durable, cleanable surface appropriate for visible fixture installations in these settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any stop valve. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all NPT threaded connections to ensure a leak-free joint. Verify the valve orientation matches the straight-stop configuration required by the fixture before final tightening.
