Dixon Valve bbv38 Bronze Ball Valve 3/8 Inches Npt

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE bbv38 is a domestically manufactured bronze ball valve with a 3/8 inches NPT connection. Ball valves provide reliable on/off flow control through a quarter-turn operation, making them a standard choice in plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and light industrial piping. The bronze body resists corrosion in water and many common fluid applications. This valve is suited for installation by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working on residential and light commercial systems where a compact, threaded shutoff is required.

The bbv38 is designed for 3/8 inches NPT threaded piping applications. Its compact size makes it well suited for tight spaces in residential plumbing rough-in work, hydronic heating loops, compressed air lines, and similar service lines where a reliable manual shutoff is needed. The bronze construction handles a range of common working fluids including water, air, and compatible non-corrosive media.

Key Features

• 3/8 inches NPT threaded connections for standard pipe fitting

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the upstream water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing any valve. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT threads per standard practice before making up connections. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as bronze bodies can be damaged by excessive torque.
