The copper body connects via push-to-connect press ends, making it compatible with press-fit installation workflows that eliminate open-flame soldering. A stainless steel lever handle provides positive quarter-turn operation. The valve is rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure and handles temperatures from 0 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for both cold and hot water service lines. EPDM seals maintain integrity across the full rated temperature range. The valve carries NSF-61\/376 and IAPMO Z1157 listings and is certified lead free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where press-fit copper systems are specified. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, and mechanical room shutoff points where no-flame installation is required or preferred. The 3\/4 inch pipe size fits standard 3\/4 inch copper tube with an outside diameter of 1.252 inches. The full-port design minimizes flow restriction, which is important in applications where pressure drop must be kept low.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-to-connect press end connection — no soldering required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-port ball design minimizes flow restriction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated from 0 degrees F to 250 degrees F operating range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPDM seals for durable performance in hot and cold water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead free construction — NSF-61\/376 and IAPMO Z1157 listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel lever handle for positive quarter-turn shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/4 inch copper tube press-fit systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications where push-to-connect press end connections are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installation. Press-fit connections require a compatible press tool and the correct jaw set for 3\/4 inch copper press fittings — verify tool compatibility before pressing. Inspect the tube end for squareness and remove burrs before inserting into the valve to ensure a proper seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Push-to-Connect Press End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.252 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.78 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 degrees F (-17 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: IAPMO Z1157, NSF-61\/376\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40141607\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MB70010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542014755122,"sku":"MB70010","price":44.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1e6dc26f6ff124c6d7c8364407583e9e_60c429b9-2167-44c0-9c8a-774f73202658.jpg?v=1785889637","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-mb70010-3-4-inch-copper-ball-valve-push-to-connect","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
