Conbraco 82LF10201 Full Port Ball Valve 3/8 in Npt

Product Description

The CONBRACO 82LF10201 is a 3-piece, full port manual ball valve designed for plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems where a low-restriction shutoff is required. The valve body is constructed from lead-free bronze and features female NPT connections on both ends. A lever handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation to open or close flow completely. The full port design maintains an unobstructed flow path equal to the pipe bore, minimizing pressure drop across the valve. Rated to 400 degrees F maximum working temperature, this valve suits a wide range of fluid handling applications in both residential and light commercial settings. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians.

This valve is sized for 3/8 inch pipe with female NPT end connections, making it compatible with threaded copper, brass, and steel piping systems. It is commonly installed as an isolation valve on water supply lines, hydronic heating circuits, chilled water lines, compressed air systems, and similar service applications. The lead-free bronze construction meets requirements for potable water service where lead-free materials are mandated. The 3-piece body allows the valve to be removed from the line for service or replacement without cutting the pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC standards. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and drain the system before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male pipe threads before making up the connection. Do not use pipe wrenches directly on the valve body — use wrenches on the valve end fittings to avoid distorting the body or damaging the seats.
