Mueller Industries 116-502 Brass Gas Ball Valve 3/8 in Flare

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 116-502 is a one-piece forged brass gas ball valve with 3/8-inch flare inlet and 3/8-inch flare outlet connections. The one-piece body construction minimizes potential leak points, extending service life and providing reliable flow control on gas lines. The yellow lever handle provides a clear visual indicator that the valve is installed on a gas supply line and allows for fast quarter-turn shutoff. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters install this valve on residential and light commercial gas piping systems.

This valve is rated for use with natural gas, LP gas, and oil, as well as traditional plumbing applications. The forged brass body suits installations where a compact, durable shutoff is required at an appliance connection, meter outlet, or inline service point. The flare-by-flare end connections make it well suited for copper tubing gas line assemblies in residential service work.

• 3/8-inch flare x 3/8-inch flare end connections for copper tubing gas lines

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the upstream gas supply and verify zero pressure before removing or installing any gas valve. Flare connections must be made with properly flared copper tubing and appropriate flare nuts — do not overtighten fittings. Leak-test all connections with an approved gas leak detection solution after restoring supply pressure.
