The valve features a brass body, polished chrome brass ball, and brass stem trim with Fluorocarbon\/PTFE softgoods for reliable sealing. It carries a 400 psi pressure rating and a standard port with a 0.59-inch orifice. The standard lever handle actuator allows quick quarter-turn operation. At 2.5 inches from inlet to outlet and 1.79 inches from top to inlet center, this valve fits into compact piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NJ96008 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems where a reliable solder-end shut-off is required. The solder end connection integrates directly into copper pipe runs, making it a common choice for domestic water distribution, hydronic heating loops, and gas supply branches. Note: Per California Section 116875, this valve is not approved for use in potable drinking water service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e400 psi pressure rating suitable for water and gas shut-off service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolder end connection for direct integration into copper piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolished chrome brass ball with standard port and 0.59-inch orifice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFluorocarbon\/PTFE softgoods for durable, low-friction sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard lever handle for quick quarter-turn operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-piece body design allows in-line maintenance access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shut-off valve for 3\/4-inch copper solder-end piping in hot and cold water and gas applications.

Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Ensure the pipe end is clean, deburred, and properly fluxed before soldering to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not apply heat directly to the valve body during soldering; use a heat sink or limit torch exposure to protect internal softgoods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrifice Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.59 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet to Outlet Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop to Inlet Center\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.79 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass Stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polished Chrome Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftgoods\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fluorocarbon\/PTFE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActuator Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Lever Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hot\/Cold Water and Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 Years Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: NJ96008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51620955881778,"sku":"39923295668","price":18.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a614a27633d6d463064f71bd6b54b18f.jpg?v=1787348075","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-nj96008-s-580-a-2-piece-ball-valve-3-4-in-solder","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
