Jomar 160-103 2-piece Full Port Ball Valve 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The JOMAR 160-103 is a 2-piece, full-port ball valve designed for use in fluid control applications where reliable shutoff and minimal pressure drop are required. The valve features a chrome-plated brass ball, a brass body, and a brass stem with Hostaflon TFM 1600 seat trim. Softgoods are Hostaflon TFM/FKM construction, providing chemical resistance and long service life. Rated at 600 psi WOG, the 160-103 is suited for high-demand plumbing and mechanical systems. End connections are FNPTxUnion FNPT, making it straightforward to install and service in-line without disturbing the surrounding piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of valve.

This valve is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and mechanical piping systems where a reliable, compact 1/2-inch shutoff is needed. The Union FNPT outlet allows the valve to be disconnected and serviced without cutting pipe. The included side-tap handle provides a positive open/closed indicator and easy quarter-turn operation. The full-port design keeps flow restriction minimal, making this valve suitable wherever pressure loss is a concern.
