Nibco NJ830LA Bronze Ball Valve 1 Inch Soldered 600 Psi

Product Description

The NIBCO NJ830LA is a 2-piece full-port bronze manual ball valve designed for soldered copper pipe connections at 1-inch pipe size. It features a locking lever handle, allowing the valve to be secured in the open or closed position to prevent accidental operation. The body and trim are bronze construction, and the seat is reinforced PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Rated to 600 psi maximum working pressure and 400 degrees F maximum working temperature, this valve is built for demanding service in both commercial and residential plumbing and hydronic systems. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

The NJ830LA is suited for use in hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating, and general plumbing applications where a full-port shutoff with positive locking is required. The soldered end connections are compatible with standard copper tubing and are appropriate for systems where brazed or soldered joints are the specified connection method. The full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, which is important in flow-critical circuits.

Key Features

• 2-piece bronze body and trim construction for corrosion resistance in water service
• Full-port design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop
• Locking lever handle prevents accidental valve repositioning
• Reinforced PTFE seat for long-term sealing performance
• 600 psi maximum working pressure rating
• MSS SP-110 compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 1-inch copper pipe systems using soldered end connections in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into the line or removing an existing valve. Use proper soldering or brazing technique appropriate for the pipe material and local code; ensure the valve body does not overheat during the soldering process, as excessive heat can damage the PTFE seat. After installation, slowly restore pressure and inspect all joints for leaks before returning the system to service.
