It features a stainless steel body and a reinforced PTFE seat, with a locking lever handle that allows the operator to secure the valve in the open or closed position. The reduced port configuration controls flow through a 1-inch threaded connection in applications where full-bore flow is not required. Rated to 138 bar maximum working pressure and up to 400 degrees F, this valve is built for demanding service conditions where fire-safe performance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where fire-safe shutoff capability is required. FNPT x FNPT end connections make it compatible with standard female-threaded pipe runs without additional adapters. The locking lever handle is practical in environments where inadvertent valve operation must be prevented. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors typically install this valve in process, utility, or HVAC piping applications that require MSS SP-110 compliant components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire safe ball valve rated to 138 bar maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum working temperature of 400 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-piece stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced PTFE seat for reliable sealing performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking lever handle prevents accidental valve actuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT x FNPT end connections for direct threaded pipe installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMSS SP-110 compliant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fire safe ball valve for 1-inch FNPT-threaded piping systems requiring MSS SP-110 compliant components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable codes, including ASME B31 piping standards. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing valve or fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant to FNPT connections per the sealant manufacturer and project specifications. Confirm flow direction and locking lever orientation before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reduced Port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reinforced Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138 bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSS SP-110 Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.422 pounds\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: NL944KAP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539009667378,"sku":"NL944KAP","price":143.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dd15e0a54df43fc51e567f43273c3a9e.jpg?v=1785832716","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-nl944kap-fire-safe-ball-valve-1-in-reduced-port","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
