Constructed from polyvinylchloride (PVC), this valve is suited for low-pressure fluid handling systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are priorities. It features a standard port configuration with female NPT connections on both ends and a tee-style handle for straightforward manual operation. Schedule 40 compatibility makes it a practical fit for standard PVC piping systems. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of valve in commercial and industrial piping runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is intended for use in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling systems that utilize Schedule 40 PVC pipe at 4-inch diameter. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow direct threaded installation into existing pipe configurations without adapters. The natural PVC color finish indicates standard, unrated PVC construction. It is well suited for water treatment, chemical distribution, and irrigation control applications where metal valves would be subject to corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC body construction provides corrosion resistance for water and compatible chemical service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard port design balances flow control with valve size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT end connections for direct threaded installation on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTee handle allows quick manual open and close operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 compatible for use with standard 4-inch PVC pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural color PVC body — single-piece construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems with 4-inch FNPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Depressurize and drain the pipe system completely before removing or installing any valve. Use appropriate thread sealant compatible with PVC and the media being handled — avoid over-tightening threaded connections on PVC fittings, as excess torque can crack the body. Verify system pressure and temperature ratings are within the valve's listed service range before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\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\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: 8.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: MA0013H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543490167090,"sku":"MA0013H","price":187.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f21367db2bb52bc7b672242d2700152a.jpg?v=1785919439","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-ma0013h-miniature-ball-valve-4-in-standard-port","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
