Nibco nfb84hn8 Lead-free Bronze Ball Valve 3/4 In.

Product Description

The NIBCO nfb84hn8 is a lead-free bronze ball valve built for the NIBCO Press System, designed to control flow in copper piping installations without flame, solder, or flux. The valve body is machined from HydraPure Performance Bronze, a dezincification-resistant alloy formulated specifically for systems that carry water intended for human consumption. Press-to-connect copper end connections on both ends feature an inboard bead and EPDM O-ring that form a permanent, watertight seal when compressed with a compatible press-fit tool. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers in residential and light commercial potable water systems where speed and code-compliant lead-free materials are required.

The nfb84hn8 fits into 3/4 inch copper press system applications where a shutoff valve is needed at fixtures, branch lines, or equipment connections. It is part of the NIBCO Press System product line, which includes a full range of copper fittings, bronze valves, pressing tools, jaws, and chains. The valve is appropriate for new construction and retrofit work wherever open-flame soldering is restricted or impractical, such as tight spaces, occupied buildings, or fire-sensitive environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or servicing this valve. Use only a compatible press-fit tool with the correct jaw size for 3/4 inch copper press connections. Confirm the "N" witness mark is visible on both ends after pressing to verify a complete and proper seal.
