Conbraco 50GB801A Manual Ball Valve 2 Inch Full Port

Product Description

The CONBRACO 50GB801A is a 2-inch full port manual ball valve designed for fluid shutoff and flow control in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. It features female NPT connections on both ends and a lever handle for quick quarter-turn operation. The full port design means the valve bore matches the pipe inside diameter, minimizing pressure drop across the valve. A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seat provides chemical resistance and low-friction seating. This valve is a standard installation component for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water distribution, HVAC hydronic loops, and light industrial piping.

The 50GB801A is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, manually operated shutoff is required on 2-inch pipe runs. Typical installations include main water shutoffs, branch line isolation, equipment service valves, and hydronic system balancing points. The FNPT x FNPT end configuration fits standard threaded pipe assemblies. The lever handle allows fast visual confirmation of valve position, open or closed, which is useful in mechanical rooms and utility spaces where quick isolation is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing valve or making connections. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service fluid on all NPT connections. Confirm valve is in the closed position before restoring system pressure and check all joints for leaks.
