Mueller 110-223hn Brass Gas Ball Valve 1/2 in Fip X Fip

Product Description

The MUELLER 110-223hn is a two-piece brass gas ball valve designed for inline gas and fluid flow control in residential and light commercial piping systems. Built from forged brass with a chrome-plated brass ball, it connects via 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) threads on both the inlet and outlet. The valve operates with a simple quarter-turn yellow handle, which provides a clear visual indicator that the valve is dedicated to a gas line. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this valve for shutoff and flow control applications where a durable, corrosion-resistant brass body is required.

This valve is rated for use with LP gas, natural gas, fuel oil, and standard water plumbing applications, making it a versatile choice across multiple service types. The 1/2-inch FIP by 1/2-inch FIP configuration fits standard half-inch threaded pipe connections found in residential gas supply lines, appliance drops, and general plumbing distribution. The compact profile, measuring 2.46 inches in length and 1.97 inches in height, suits tight mechanical spaces where clearance is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas fitter in accordance with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off the upstream gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing valve or making new connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for gas service to all male threads before assembly. After installation, pressure-test the joint for leaks before returning the system to service.
