Dixon ibv50 Carbon Steel Ball Valve 1/2 in Female Npt 2000 Psi

Product Description

The DIXON ibv50 is a carbon steel ball valve designed for shutoff and flow control in hose and pipe line applications. It features a chromium-plated ball, RPTFE seats and seals, and a blow-out proof stem with an adjustable packing gland. The valve carries a 2000 PSI WOG pressure rating and a 150 PSI saturated steam pressure rating, making it suitable for demanding industrial service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid system technicians are the primary installers. The standard port configuration and full female NPT threading on both ends simplify integration into existing pipe or hose assemblies.

This valve is rated for use with air, water, oil, and gas in hose and pipe line systems. The 1/2-inch female NPT x female NPT connection is a common size in compressed air, hydraulic, and general fluid distribution lines found in industrial, commercial, and light mechanical plant settings. The RPTFE seat and seal material provides chemical resistance suitable for a broad range of media within the valve's rated pressure and temperature limits.

Key Features

• 2000 PSI WOG pressure rating with 150 PSI saturated steam pressure rating
• Carbon steel body with chromium-plated ball for corrosion resistance at the sealing surface
• RPTFE seats and seals for chemical compatibility across air, water, oil, and gas service
• Blow-out proof stem design for added safety under pressure
• Adjustable packing gland allows field adjustment to address stem leakage
• Standard port configuration for straightforward flow management

Compatibility

Designed for control of air, water, oil, and gas in hose or pipe line systems using 1/2-inch female NPT connections. Not rated for drinking water service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or qualified fluid systems technician familiar with applicable codes such as the IPC and IFGC. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing valve or fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant to male NPT threads per the sealant manufacturer's instructions and do not overtighten, which can crack fittings or distort seats. Verify pressure and media compatibility against the valve's rated limits before returning the system to service.
