Nibco MA01126 Miniature Ball Valve 1/2 Inch Pvc

Product Description

The NIBCO MA01126 is a 1-piece miniature manual ball valve designed for 1/2 inch PVC piping systems using solvent x solvent end connections. It features a standard port, tee-style handle, and a Schedule 40 polyvinylchloride body rated for up to 2000 psi maximum working pressure. This valve is used to start, stop, or regulate flow in low-pressure plastic piping systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors in both residential and light commercial applications where a compact, chemically resistant shutoff is required.

The MA01126 is suited for PVC solvent-weld piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid handling applications. Its compact miniature footprint makes it a practical choice in tight spaces or panel-mounted configurations where full-size ball valves are impractical. The natural-color PVC body offers resistance to many common chemicals and corrosive fluids, making it appropriate for water treatment, chemical distribution, and similar service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into any existing line. Use appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement per the pipe and fitting manufacturer instructions for solvent-weld joints. Allow adequate cure time before pressurizing the system.
