Ipex 52108 Pvc Ball Valve 1-1/4 in Fpt Ptfe Epdm

Product Description

The IPEX 52108 is a 1-1/4 inch PVC ball valve with female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends. It is designed for full-port shutoff service in plumbing, irrigation, and chemical handling systems where corrosion resistance is required. The valve body is constructed of PVC, making it suitable for water and a range of chemical applications where metal valves would corrode or react. PTFE seats provide low-friction, chemical-resistant sealing against the ball, while EPDM seals handle the stem and body sealing functions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this valve type in commercial and residential systems.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation distribution, pool and spa systems, and industrial process lines handling compatible fluids. The FPT x FPT end configuration allows it to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe or fittings in 1-1/4 inch schedule 40 or schedule 80 PVC piping systems. It is commonly installed as a service isolation valve, branch shutoff, or equipment isolation point.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch FPT x FPT end connections for direct threaded installation
• PVC body construction resists corrosion and chemical attack
• PTFE seats provide low-friction, chemically inert ball sealing
• EPDM seals deliver reliable stem and body sealing for water and mild chemical service
• Quarter-turn ball operation for fast, positive shutoff

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for 1-1/4 inch FPT-threaded PVC piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, pool, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing any existing valve or making threaded connections. Use thread sealant rated for PVC and the specific fluid service — do not over-torque threaded PVC fittings, as overtightening can crack the valve body. Verify that the fluid type, temperature, and pressure are within the rated limits of PVC and the EPDM and PTFE seal materials before returning the system to service.
