Built with a 1-piece bronze and carbon steel body, it handles up to 1500 psi working pressure and up to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for high-pressure steam, gas, and liquid service lines. The reduced-port design uses a reinforced PTFE seat and stainless steel trim to maintain reliable shutoff even in thermal stress conditions. A locking lever handle prevents accidental actuation in critical systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this valve type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where fire-safe shutoff is required. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow straightforward threaded installation into 1-1\/2 inch pipe runs. Typical applications include fuel gas distribution, heating systems, process piping, and other lines where fire-safe certification and high-pressure ratings are mandatory. The locking lever adds an extra layer of operational safety in environments where inadvertent valve operation must be prevented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire-safe design rated to 1500 psi maximum working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum working temperature of 400 degrees F for high-heat service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-piece bronze and carbon steel body for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced PTFE seat material provides durable, low-friction sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel trim resists corrosion in demanding service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking lever handle prevents accidental valve operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMSS SP-110 compliant for industry-standard quality assurance\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 1-1\/2 inch threaded pipe systems using FNPT x FNPT connections in commercial and industrial piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant to FNPT connections and tighten to manufacturer-recommended engagement depth without over-torquing the threaded joints. Verify the locking lever is in the closed position before returning the system to service and confirm there are no leaks at operating pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fire Safe Ball Valve\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze and Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim 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\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1500 psi\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: 3.138 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: NL944KCP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543444488498,"sku":"NL944KCP","price":298.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a43f10ffd3ad8066c4ca2beddab0afaa_a05d35fc-112b-40da-abb5-3c82aa232957.jpg?v=1785918697","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-nl944kcp-fire-safe-ball-valve-1-1-2-in-reduced-port","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
