Nibco NFB842X6 Lead Free Press Ball Valve 1/2 in

Product Description

The NIBCO NFB842X6 is a lead free, press-end ball valve designed for potable water systems and other applications requiring NSF-compliant, lead free bronze construction. The valve uses press technology to join copper tubing without open flame, eliminating soldering from the workflow. When the fitting is properly crimped, a unique N witness mark becomes visible, confirming a complete and secure connection. Licensed plumbers install this valve in residential and light commercial systems where water is intended for human consumption. The press-by-press end configuration allows fast, repeatable connections on both ends of the valve.

The NFB842X6 is suited for potable water distribution systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications. Its lead free HydraPure Performance Bronze construction meets requirements for systems delivering water for human consumption. The press-by-press connection style is compatible with standard press tool systems using the appropriate jaws and chains. This valve is a practical choice for retrofit and new construction installations where torch-free connections are preferred or required by local code.
