Conbraco 82LF10101 Full Port Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Npt

Product Description

The CONBRACO 82LF10101 is a 3-piece, full port manual ball valve designed for plumbing and mechanical systems requiring unrestricted flow and positive shutoff. Built with a lead-free bronze body and a reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seat, this valve meets lead-free compliance standards for potable water applications. The lever handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation, and the full port design ensures minimal pressure drop across the valve. It accepts 1/4 inch female NPT connections on both ends, making it a practical fit for tight-line plumbing, equipment isolation, and branch shutoff applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of valve.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic, and mechanical systems where a compact, reliable shutoff is required at a 1/4 inch connection point. The 3-piece body construction allows in-line service and seat replacement without removing the valve from the line, which reduces downtime during maintenance. Typical applications include isolation of gauges, sensors, HVAC components, and small-diameter supply lines where lead-free materials are required by code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing the valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT fittings before making up connections, and do not over-tighten threaded joints. Confirm lead-free compliance requirements with local authority having jurisdiction before installation in potable water systems.
