Matco-norca 19341 Press Ball Valve 2.5 in Full Port

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 19341 is a 2.5-inch press-connection ball valve built for commercial and residential plumbing systems where lead-free materials are required by code. Rated at 600 WOG (water, oil, gas) and 150 WSP (working steam pressure), this full-port valve delivers unrestricted flow and is suited for isolation service in pressurized piping systems. The press-fit end connections allow tool-assisted assembly without open flame, making it a practical choice for copper or compatible press-system installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this valve type.

This valve is designed for use in potable water systems, hydronic heating and cooling circuits, and general plumbing distribution lines where a lead-free, full-port shutoff is required. The 2.5-inch size fits mid-range commercial trunk lines and larger residential main lines. Its full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, which is important in systems where flow efficiency is a design factor.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction meets NSF and applicable plumbing code requirements for potable water service
• Full-port bore maintains full pipe-diameter flow path, reducing turbulence and pressure loss
• 600 WOG pressure rating supports a wide range of water, oil, and gas applications
• 150 WSP steam working pressure rating extends service range to steam applications
• Press-connection ends allow flame-free installation with compatible press tooling
• 2.5-inch nominal size fits standard mid-range commercial and large residential piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press ball valve for 2.5-inch press-fit copper piping systems in commercial and residential plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and verify the pipe is fully drained before pressing connections. Use only manufacturer-approved press tooling and jaw profiles rated for the pipe diameter and fitting series. Do not apply heat near press fittings, and inspect the press indicator to confirm a complete connection before restoring pressure.
