Matco-norca 18360 Press Ball Valve 1 Inch Full Port

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 18360 is a 1-inch press-end ball valve designed for professional plumbing installations where lead-free compliance is required. Built to a 600 WOG (Water, Oil, Gas) pressure rating and 150 WSP (Working Steam Pressure), this full-port valve delivers unrestricted flow with minimal pressure drop across the valve body. The press-end connection eliminates open flame during installation, making it a practical choice for tight spaces and retrofit work. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this valve in potable water, hydronic, and light commercial piping systems.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a full-bore shutoff is needed at a 1-inch pipe size. The press-end configuration is compatible with standard press-fit tooling and copper or compatible press-fit pipe systems. Its lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water systems, including installations subject to state and federal lead-free mandates.
