Ipex 52029 Pvc Ball Valve Fpt X Fpt 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 52029 is a 3/4-inch PVC ball valve with female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends, designed for on/off flow control in non-metallic piping systems. It features PTFE seats and EPDM seals, making it suited for water and compatible chemical service in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and pool or chemical feed applications. The all-PVC body resists corrosion and is lightweight at 0.35 pounds. A licensed plumber or pipefitter installs this valve in low-pressure liquid systems where a full-port shut-off with threaded connections is required.

This valve is a common fit for residential plumbing, irrigation manifolds, pool and spa equipment, and light industrial process lines where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility make metal valves unsuitable. The 3/4-inch FPT x FPT configuration connects directly to threaded PVC or CPVC fittings and schedule 40 or schedule 80 pipe nipples. The PTFE seats reduce friction on the ball and help maintain a reliable seal over repeated cycles. EPDM seals provide broad compatibility with water, mild acids, and many pool treatment chemicals.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch FPT x FPT connections for direct threading onto schedule 40 or schedule 80 pipe nipples
• PVC body construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• PTFE seats reduce operating torque and extend seat service life
• EPDM seals compatible with water, pool chemicals, and mild chemical service
• Lightweight at 0.35 pounds, reducing stress on threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 3/4-inch threaded PVC piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, and pool or chemical service applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitting professional should install this valve in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before installation or replacement. Apply thread sealant tape (PTFE) to male threads and hand-tighten before using a strap wrench — avoid pipe wrenches directly on the PVC body, as overtightening can crack the valve body or distort the FPT threads. Confirm system pressure and chemical compatibility with PVC and EPDM before placing the valve in service.
