Built with a copper alloy body, it accepts 2-inch nominal female press end connections and provides unrestricted flow through a full-port design. The valve uses EPDM and PTFE softgoods for reliable sealing across a broad range of fluid service applications. This is a lead-free (LF) compliant valve, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead-free materials are required by code. Plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial and residential hydronic or water distribution systems are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using copper press-fit piping. The female press end style allows for tool-based press connections without open flame, making it appropriate for retrofit and new construction installations where torch-free work is preferred. Typical applications include domestic water supply, hydronic heating loops, and similar fluid distribution systems operating within the valve's rated parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-piece body design allows for in-line maintenance and seat inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-port bore maintains full pipe diameter flow with minimal pressure drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale press end connections enable torch-free, tool-pressed installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper alloy body construction for durability in wet plumbing environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPDM and PTFE softgoods provide chemical compatibility with water and common hydronic fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free (LF) compliant construction meets potable water code requirements\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 2-inch nominal copper press-fit piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with copper press-fit systems and the appropriate press tooling required for the connection end style. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before installing or replacing any valve. Verify that the press tool jaw profile is compatible with the fitting end before pressing. All work should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftgoods Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM \/ PTFE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead-Free Compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: NF998XD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51523364028722,"sku":"BV2","price":310.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e286d4d0def9421e2de8d5d427593628.jpg?v=1785440816","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-nf998xd-2-piece-ball-valve-2-inch-female-press","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
