Matco-norca 18363 Press Ball Valve 2 in Full Port 600 Wog

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 18363 is a 2-inch press-connect ball valve engineered for plumbing and hydronic systems where lead-free materials are required by code. Built to a working pressure of 600 WOG and 150 WSP, this valve delivers reliable shutoff in both water and gas-compatible applications. The full-port design minimizes flow restriction, making it well-suited for main supply lines and branch runs where pressure drop must be controlled. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors working on potable water systems, heating loops, or commercial plumbing rough-ins will find this valve ready for press-tool installation without soldering or open flame.

This valve is designed for 2-inch press-connect installations in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and mechanical room piping. The lead-free construction satisfies requirements under the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act, making it appropriate for potable water service. Typical applications include isolation valves on water mains, boiler supply and return lines, and chilled-water distribution systems where a press-fit connection is preferred over sweat or threaded joints.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction compliant with potable water regulations
• Full-port bore maintains maximum flow and minimizes pressure drop
• 600 WOG pressure rating for demanding water, oil, and gas service
• 150 WSP steam-service rating for steam and high-temperature applications
• Press-connect end connections eliminate the need for soldering or open flame

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press ball valve for 2-inch press-fit piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASME B16.33 or applicable standards. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before beginning any valve work. Use a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for 2-inch press fittings and verify the O-ring is properly seated before pressing. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or temperature for the valve or the connected piping system.
