Eaton 6800 Straight Needle Valve 1/8 in Fnpt Brass 150 Psi

Product Description

The EATON 6800 is a straight-pattern needle valve designed for precise flow control in low-volume fluid and gas lines. The valve features female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends and a brass body suited for compatibility with a range of compatible media in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications. At a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and an overall length of 1.14 inches, this compact valve fits in tight spaces where accurate throttling is required. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation tradespeople install this valve where repeatable flow adjustment is needed on 1/8 inch pipe lines.

The EATON 6800 is commonly used in residential and light commercial systems where a 1/8 inch line requires precise shutoff or flow metering. Typical applications include gauge isolation, pilot lines, and instrument connections in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing systems. Its straight body style makes it a straightforward in-line installation with no directional offset.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threaded fittings per applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material can be damaged by excessive torque.
