Nds BTU-2000-E Pvc True-union Ball Valve 2 Inch

Product Description

The NDS BTU-2000-E is a 2-inch PVC true-union ball valve designed for full-bore flow control in plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa piping systems. The true-union body design allows the valve to be removed from the line without cutting the pipe, making it a practical choice for systems that require periodic service or replacement. At 3.12 pounds, it is lightweight enough for overhead or in-wall installations. The slip and threaded end connections give installers flexibility when fitting the valve into existing or new PVC runs. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this valve type.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a serviceable shut-off is needed in a PVC piping system. Common install scenarios include pool and spa equipment pads, irrigation main lines, water treatment bypass loops, and utility plumbing where the system may need to be isolated for filter changes, pump service, or equipment swaps. The slip and thread dual-connection options make it compatible with both solvent-weld and threaded PVC fittings without requiring adapters.

Key Features

• True-union body allows in-line removal without cutting pipe
• 2-inch slip and threaded end connections for flexible installation
• PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical degradation
• Full-port ball design minimizes flow restriction
• Lightweight at 3.12 pounds for ease of handling and overhead use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 2-inch PVC piping systems in plumbing, pool, spa, and irrigation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line fully before removing any existing valve or making solvent-weld connections. Allow solvent-weld joints to cure for the full time specified by the cement manufacturer before restoring pressure. Do not overtighten threaded connections on PVC fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
