Nibco MA0112C 1-1/2 in Pvc Miniature Ball Valve Solvent

Product Description

The NIBCO MA0112C is a 1-piece miniature manual ball valve designed for 1-1/2 inch pipe in PVC (polyvinylchloride) piping systems. It features a tee handle for quick quarter-turn operation and a standard port configuration with solvent x solvent end connections. Rated to 2000 psi maximum working pressure, this valve is suited for Schedule 40 plastic pipe installations where a compact, lightweight shutoff is required. At 0.8 pounds, it is light enough for overhead or confined-space runs. Plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and chemical handling systems where PVC solvent-weld joints are standard practice.

This valve fits into Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using standard solvent cement connections on both ends. It is commonly used in pool and spa plumbing, irrigation distribution lines, chemical feed systems, and general water service applications where a low-profile manual shutoff is needed. The natural color PVC body is compatible with standard PVC solvent cements and primers. It is appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature fluid service within the rated pressure range.

Key Features

• 1-piece PVC body construction — lightweight and corrosion resistant
• Standard port tee handle for fast quarter-turn on/off operation
• Solvent x solvent end connections compatible with Schedule 40 PVC pipe
• 2000 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Compact miniature form factor for tight or space-restricted installations
• Natural color body — easy to identify in multi-line systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install shutoff valve for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using solvent-weld connections on 1-1/2 inch pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and drain the line completely before removing an existing valve or making solvent-weld connections. Allow full solvent cement cure time before pressurizing the system — do not rush this step. The tee handle requires clearance for rotation; verify adequate space before finalizing valve placement.
