Built with a copper alloy body and lead-free construction, this valve meets low-lead compliance requirements for potable water service. The 1-1\/2 inch nominal female press end connections allow for solderless installation using standard press tooling, reducing labor time on the job. Softgoods are EPDM and PTFE, providing reliable sealing performance across a range of water and hydronic system conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NF998XC is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, radiant heating, and hydronic distribution systems where copper press connections are specified. The full-port design maintains full pipe bore flow, minimizing pressure drop across the valve. Its 2-piece body construction allows for straightforward in-line serviceability. This valve is appropriate for new construction and retrofit installations where lead-free components are required by code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free copper alloy body meets low-lead potable water requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-port design maintains full bore flow and minimizes pressure drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale press end connections compatible with copper press systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPDM and PTFE softgoods for durable, reliable sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-piece body construction supports in-line maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch nominal size suits a wide range of main line and branch applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for copper press piping systems requiring a lead-free, full-port ball valve at 1-1\/2 inch nominal size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Female press connections require a compatible press tool and jaw set rated for the pipe diameter and material.
