Eaton 6805 Straight Needle Valve 1/4 in Fnpt Brass 150 Psi

Product Description

The EATON 6805 is a straight needle valve designed for precise flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial fluid systems. Built with a brass body, this valve features female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends and accepts 1/4 inch pipe. The overall length is 1.62 inches, and it is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. The needle valve design allows for fine throttling of liquid or gas flow, making it well suited for instrumentation lines, gauge isolation, and low-flow control applications. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians.

The EATON 6805 is used in residential and light commercial applications where accurate flow regulation is needed. Typical installations include gauge isolation on water systems, sample lines, and fluid control panels. The straight configuration and FNPT x FNPT end connections make it straightforward to thread into existing piping without special adapters. Its compact 1.62 inch overall length allows installation in tight spaces common in mechanical rooms and equipment enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per standard practice, and do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque. Verify the system is leak-free before returning it to service.
