Built with a bronze body and brass ball on a bronze stem, this quarter-turn valve delivers reliable shutoff in potable water systems and other plumbing applications. The female press x female press end connections allow tool-based crimping without open flame, speeding up installation and reducing fire risk on the job site. A reinforced PTFE seat seal provides durable, low-friction operation. The NIB-SEAL extended insulated handle gives clear visual indication of valve position and allows operation on insulated lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is intended for residential and commercial plumbing systems that require a lead-free shutoff solution compliant with potable water standards. The press-fit end connections make it a strong fit for new construction and retrofit work where torch-free installation is preferred. Licensed plumbers installing copper press systems in water supply lines, mechanical rooms, and similar environments will find this valve straightforward to incorporate into standard press-tool workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free bronze construction meets potable water requirements for human consumption systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-port design minimizes flow restriction through the valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale press x female press connections for torch-free, tool-crimped installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced PTFE (RPTFE) seat seal for long-term, low-friction sealing performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNIB-SEAL extended insulated handle provides position visibility and insulation clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarter-turn operation for fast, positive open and close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year limited manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use within the NIBCO Press System, compatible with NIBCO copper press fittings, pressing tools, jaws, and chains.

Shut off and depressurize the supply line and drain the system before installing or servicing this valve. Use only approved pressing tools and correctly sized jaws for 1-inch press connections; an improperly crimped joint will not seal. Verify the unique witness mark is visible after crimping to confirm a completed press joint, and follow all applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch x 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType of Valve\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Press x Female Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurns to Operate\u003c\/strong\u003e: Quarter-Turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Seal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: RPTFE (Reinforced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim Package\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e: NIB-SEAL Extended Insulated Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.51 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.03 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.783 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-Year Limited\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: nfb842xa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268787831090,"sku":"NFB842XA","price":142.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308911785.png?v=1780705793","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-nfb842xa-press-ball-valve-1-inch-full-port-lead-free","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
