It features a press female inlet connection paired with a hose end connection, and includes a hose cap and chain attached to the valve body. Rated for 250 psi non-shock cold working pressure with a maximum service temperature of 250 degrees F, this valve is built for demanding service conditions. A blowout-proof stem and reinforced PTFE seat rings provide reliable shutoff. The valve incorporates a press leak-detection feature that allows a controlled leak during pressure testing if the press connection has not been properly crimped, giving installers a clear go or no-go indicator at startup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for commercial and residential hydronic and plumbing piping systems where press-to-connect technology is specified. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working with copper press systems. When properly crimped, a unique N witness mark is visible on the fitting, confirming a complete and secure connection. Note: Use in U.S. drinking water applications is prohibited after January 3, 2014. This valve is not approved for potable water service and should be applied accordingly in non-potable or closed-loop systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e250 psi non-shock cold working pressure rating for robust service performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress leak-detection feature signals an incomplete crimp during pressure testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eN witness mark confirms proper press connection upon inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull port design minimizes flow restriction through the valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlowout-proof stem construction enhances safety under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReinforced PTFE seat rings provide durable, low-torque shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes hose cap and chain for port protection when the hose end is not in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style full port ball valve for 1\/2 inch copper press piping systems.

Depressurize and drain the system before installing or servicing this valve. Use the appropriate press tool and jaw size specified for the fitting size to ensure a complete crimp. Verify the N witness mark is visible after pressing and confirm the connection is leak-free during the initial pressure test before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 psi non-shock cold working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Service Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Two-piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reinforced PTFE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press female x hose end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Conformance\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSS SP-110\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: nf843c6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51468200509746,"sku":"NF843C6","price":67.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946713.jpg?v=1783914259","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-nf843c6-bronze-ball-valve-1-2-inch-press-x-hose","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
