Constructed from polyvinylchloride (PVC) with a standard port configuration, it delivers a rated maximum working pressure of 2000 psi and is suited for Schedule 40 piping installations. The tee handle provides a positive, easy grip for manual operation. Both end connections are female NPT (FNPT), making inline installation straightforward. Plumbers and pipefitters install this valve where a compact, lightweight shutoff is needed in PVC systems without the bulk of a full-size valve body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PVC Schedule 40 pipe is the specified material. FNPT x FNPT connections allow direct threaded installation into existing pipe runs. The standard port design supports typical flow rates for 2-1\/2 inch distribution lines. Its natural PVC color indicates compatibility with standard potable and non-potable water piping systems. The miniature 1-piece body keeps the installed footprint small, which is useful in tight mechanical spaces or manifold arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-piece PVC body construction for a compact, lightweight profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure rated at 2000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT end connections for threaded inline installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard port configuration for 2-1\/2 inch Schedule 40 pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTee handle for clear open\/closed indication and firm manual grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural PVC color suitable for standard potable and non-potable water lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-1\/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC threaded piping systems using FNPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing valve or making threaded connections. Use thread sealant tape or compound rated for PVC and the media being conveyed. Do not exceed the rated working pressure and avoid over-torquing FNPT fittings, as PVC threads are susceptible to cracking under excessive force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Miniature Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polyvinylchloride (PVC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NIBCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MA0013E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542402171186,"sku":"MA0013E","price":75.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/374da8a57776b73f70ceda7bcf7cea77.jpg?v=1785899782","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-ma0013e-2-1-2-inch-pvc-miniature-ball-valve-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
