It features a compression inlet connection on the 1\/4-inch side and a male National Pipe Taper Fuel (MNPTF) outlet on the 1\/8-inch side. The body is constructed from brass, which resists corrosion and handles moderate working pressures up to 150 psi. The angled body geometry makes it well suited for installations where straight in-line routing is not practical. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics commonly use valves of this type to provide manual shutoff or throttling capability at instrument taps, gauge ports, and small-bore service lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EATON A555 is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration systems wherever a compact, angled manual shutoff or flow-control valve is required. Its compression-to-MNPTF configuration suits connections from copper tubing to threaded port fittings on equipment panels, manifolds, and pressure gauge assemblies. The small pipe size makes it appropriate for instrument lines, pilot lines, and secondary service ports rather than main supply runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngled body design allows installation in tight or offset connection points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass body construction provides corrosion resistance for water, refrigerant-adjacent, and pneumatic service lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPTF end connections for copper tubing to threaded port hookup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 x 1\/8 inch pipe size accommodates small-bore instrument and gauge lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service valve for small-bore compression-to-MNPTF needle valve applications in residential and light commercial HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or refrigeration mechanic following applicable local codes and IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off all system pressure and depressurize the line before removing any existing valve or fitting. When making the compression connection, hand-tighten the nut first, then advance with a wrench according to tubing material practices — do not overtighten. Apply thread sealant to the MNPTF threads before assembly and verify for leaks before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Angled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x MNPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height (OAH)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.53 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EATON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: A555\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EATON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540558217522,"sku":"A555","price":24.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5e0a04864e08b461e7d81c738eeef742.jpg?v=1785858403","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eaton-a555-angled-needle-valve-1-4-x-1-8-inch-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
