Matco-norca 19342 Press Ball Valve 3 in Full Port 600 Wog

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA 19342 is a 3-inch press-end ball valve engineered for professional plumbing installations where lead-free compliance is required. Built to a 600 WOG (water, oil, gas) rating and a 150 WSP (working steam pressure) rating, this full-port valve delivers unrestricted flow and reliable shutoff performance. The press-fit end connections eliminate the need for soldering or threading, making installation faster and cleaner in tight spaces. It is suited for licensed plumbers working on potable water systems, hydronic heating, and light commercial piping where lead-free materials are mandated by code.

This valve is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a 3-inch full-port shutoff with press-style connections. The full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, which is critical in high-flow domestic water, radiant heating, and recirculation applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters installing systems subject to lead-free compliance standards will find this valve fits directly into press-fit piping systems without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction meets potable water and plumbing code requirements
• Full-port design provides unrestricted flow with minimal pressure drop
• 600 WOG pressure rating for water, oil, and gas service
• 150 WSP steam working pressure rating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install ball valve for 3-inch press-fit plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installing or replacing this valve. Press-fit connections require a compatible press tool and appropriate jaw size for the pipe diameter and fitting system in use. Verify lead-free compliance requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before installation in potable water systems.
